John Frost was some hero wasn’t he! I only knew the very basic details about the Bruneval raid but the bravery of Frost and his men during here and also at Arnhem is incredible
Its not looking good .....
The Parachute Regiment have been denied many times, so Im not holding out. I've sent the landowner an email, The address I acquired from an official Operation Biting website. I've been warned that he may not even return my email. What i don't understand, is that knowing how busy All of Normandy is, all year round too, That this site hasn't been developed. Its history and the history of Radar, it would be popular. Its isolated, not in a town etc. There's not any military sites I've not been to now in Europe. But this one ....
Fingers crossed.
Ferret, That may well be my only option........
We went right up to the ruins, single barbed wire fence near to cliff edges and only a few well behaved cattle in the feild. Nobody else around was very intersting.
I met a fella once who did a lot of greenlaning and liked visiting sites of downed military aircraft, used to ride his little xr250 to most sites, many up mountains of the beaten track. Took his time just bumbled about, had a map with him and a little British legion remembrance cross, if he ever got stopped by local landowners he told them he was wanting to lay the cross at the spot one of his relatives had lost their life.seemed to have worked he never had any real issues, bit of a white lie I know but it worked.
Have fun
