Held it really tight against my topbox on a 2 second exposure, took about 3 attempts to get one that was reasonably sharp.

When we were crawling around like school boys at Pointe du Hoc Colin decided to clamber down to an encasement near the edge of the cliff. Phil & I took some pictures of his descent as we thought we thought we would capture his final moments.

Photo taken on D+2, after relief forces reached the Rangers at Point du Hoc. The American flag had been spread out to stop fire of friendly tanks coming from inland. Some German prisoners are being moved in after capture by the relieving forces. 8 June 1944

That is very cool. To be able to see what I was clambering over as it was on D+2.

Also answers a question I was posing to Phil at Arromanches, "I wonder how far the cliff edge has eroded back since 1945".

Wow! So we met the lady herself!! The first child to be liberated in France. I wasn't arguing, I believed you, I just thought when I met her that she had to be English not French, as she spoke such perfect English with a proper Queens English plum in her mouth.
