    I think myself and Crusader are the only two original (as in since its formation) active members of the mirage factory still going. I was member no5. I still have Oli's original listing of the members somewhere, there were less than a dozen of us when we first set it up and Crab_02 and C5 were the only non European members of the team.We all had our own "specialist" departments for who did what and worked on what.......ah the good old days.

    Rip Oli mate:salute:.

    Those were Happy Times.

    Good to see this post.

    Yes, RIP Oli,  you are still missed....

  3. Met the gentleman who wrote this book and 10 other 11th Armored Division vets today in the Grafenwoher Dining facility - these Vets and family members are on what may be for most of them the last trip to see the land they fought in and liberated during 1944-45. Google 11th Armored Division and follow CCA and CCBs fight from England all the way thru to Austria.

     

    See Mr Hartman's book here:

    I spent about an hour talking with some of these guys and being a fellow tanker was in awe of what they went thru and what they acheived...
