Plenty of Photos

Here are some of the photos promised in our last Blog Post. The Dunkirk ones will be in the blog after this.

Unfortunately, it seems notifications are not being delivered to Gmail accounts whether there are photos or not. Gmail is not treating the emails as Spam.

Most of the photos are now in the photo gallery, many annotated. You can see all the photos from 2016 by clicking here.

The maps on our home page have also been updated.
