hello all
yesterday i was in Chièvres .
two good reason for that.
first - reopening of the museum - you remember, Fabrice (check6) work there.
and second, the most important - take care of a guy who did a long ride expressly for the occasion.
Kenton is the son of an armorer who where based with his unit 368FG 396FS at A84 .
some month ago, Kenton found me on a well knowed social net .
he write me this one
after that, i took contact with him, exchanging some mails and than also putting him in contact with Fabrice.
he also send me some photos, his father is on the right
some of those photos are present on the 368th FG site
his father in front of the house where Suzanne (his girlfriend) where living.
this photo was used by Fabrice to found infos about her.
those days, Kenton was in France for duty and decide to come to the museum.
he wish to see a part of his father's history.
and also offer a book he wrote to the museum.
Fabrice will for sure give you some details about that.
whe had chance yesterday with the weather, blue sky, sun and we make a little trip around the old A84 airbase.
little problem, no acces because this base is still in use, and of course no much remnants.
but kenton was satisfied and happy to have done this in a Willys.
we also visit a bomb shelter build by germans
this is a view of the old part of airfield, again, Fabrice can tell you more
this is a young group of belgian reenactors called "buddies of the 9th AF"
inside a tent
and this is the most emotive moment of his visit; Fabrice realise a little space honoring his father
Kenton, relating to us some personnal stories, giving some details
when he will be home; Fabrice will give us some more info and maybe some photos
byebyeeeee
see you
