Orange invasion

Postby paraffin man » Mon Feb 13, 2006 3:50 pm

Just for info as we will no doubt see them over the next 2 weeks, the Dutch army are holding a major exercise in the Kintyre area. They will be based at RAF Machrihanish but conducting training on the ground near to there. I believe there will be about 500 troops involved.

Hope they drive on the right side of the road......eh meant left :!:

Another exercise for the Dutch in Kintyre. This happened a few years back too in 2004 when the European Championships were being held. I remember as I was fed up with Amsterdam / Holland at the time and decided to escape back to the town for a weeks break. Anyhow came back to the town, walked into a bar and found the place was full of Cloggies, speak about bad timing :twisted: :D
If, after all, men cannot always make history have meaning, they can always act so that their own lives have one.
