  • HI folks the server that hosts the site completely died including the Hdd's and backups.
    Luckily i create an offsite backup once a week! this has now been restored so we have lost a few days posts.
    im still fixing things at the moment so bear with me and im still working on all images 90% are fine the others im working on now
    we are now using a backup solution

Nice to see another memorial to "our fallen", from those little post war end of Empire fights, perhaps we will see a memorial to Aden next. Very well shot footage, Paul
