GPA at Mulberry harbour, Normandy 1944

Post by leo verhagen » Thu Apr 24, 2008 7:43 pm

Hello to all GPA fans,

Yesterday I watched a DVD about the construction and building of the Mulberry artificiel harbours for Normandy, 1944.
I came across a small piece of film about the role DUKW's played before the harbours were fully constructed.
To my surprise I also noticed I GPA on the beach, with the habour (Mulberry A or B?) and a DUKW in the background. I made some photos from this film directly from my television screen. Not the best shots, but (for me) this was a new piece of GPA film, and this is for now the only way of sharing it whit you. In the future I will try to make better photos one way or another.
