Country:  | Nice pics Med! Malta is cool. Gozo is great too. I have been to the Azure Window, it is really nice - especially for cliff diving  Don't remember the mosquitoes being so bad there though!

Country:  | I think it would be pretty fun of a job, to work at a historical military museum.

Country:  | That should be fun, Med! Being a museum volunteer myself, I can tell you that a lot of the time it's pretty unglamorous (trash detail, sweeping floors, dusting cases, etc). But when you see the eyes of the children light up and see the folks take interest in what you are preserving, it's worth it. During the air show, I got a cut on my head and my hand crunched in a tow bar, both are funny but uninteresting stories. I wouldn't take anything back though.

Country:  | Yes - I'm still alive! Just been rather busy of late. Recently myself and my group went to St. Petersburg, where as you can see in the link we took part in a reenactment of the breaking of the Leningrad Blockade, done in the grounds of the Artillery Museum.
It was about -12 when the pictures were taken, although that didn't put us off for a moment, and our hosts had laid on chai e kasha for us after!
Around 2500 people showed up to see us and the Russian groups, and all in all, it was an amazing event, and we also ended up on Russian national television!
Later on that evening we had the honour to have supper with a group of veterans, one of whom was a Artillery Colonel (Polkovnik) and who fought in both the Winter War and during the siege, and was awarded the Order of the Red Banner.
Anyway, here are the pictures on the groups website. 2006 St.Petersburg unit Trip - 2nd Guards Rifle Division

Country: | Hmm, well it's my thread, so I guess I can shamlessly plug my group here - our next event that people can see us at is on the 16th to the 17th April, and is at Fort Nelson in Portsmouth. http://www.royalarmouries.org/extsit...sectionId=2580
Now despite what it says, there won't be a Commisar - we would have to be at Battalion strength to warrant that! However, there will be a NKVD Stareii Serzhant manning our desk. | |

Country: | We were in your home town for a couple of hours you know... I was thinking of buying a Moomin mug in one of the department stores on the main high street down from the railway station. But I'd already spent almost every Rouble and Euro I had by then! | |
