    This is the best video ever, Lord Muck. I can't wait for the next videos with this little car. I'm sorry you have a new owner. But the work you guys have done will be there for another 100 years. And what you are doing today will help others understand what happened 80 years ago forever. Thank you so much, Muck.

    As an American I thank you for reviewing this material!! November 11th is Veterans Day in the US where we celebrate those who served to keep our world safe from those who would harm our nation and allies. I look forward to all of your videos but I’ve found a deeper respect for you and your efforts now.

    $250 project. Really appreciate the Video, Kurt. The History walk through in Normandy was awesome. Too bad about the farm house, what a story. Hopefully the new owners keep the war scars. I would love to do what you are planning on doing. My Grandfather served in WWII. One of my bucket list items. Thanks again for dragging us along. Looking forward to the future WWII videos. Maybe you can butter up the new owners and be there maintenance crew???

    A great video, i absolutely loved this, cant wait to see your video's when you have got the Twingo finished. If i remember rightly the mk1s weren't marketed in the UK as they did not meet our crash safety regs. I share your love of history from world war two and would love seeing video's of the beaches and museums.

    Is I know it will be an unmissable watch.
    Very informative and done with the greatest respect to the men who landed on those beaches!!
    I’m only hear because my father lived to tell the tale.

      @
      Yes he landed on D day +10
      He served with the 5th
      Enniskillen dragoon guards.
      Driving Cromwell tank, though as they battled into France they could not keep up with fuel supply so he was transferred to driving Canadian ford an Bedford m w b trucks.

    • @LordMuck
      @LordMuck  2 дня назад

      @Dave.w-ev9qn1962 2 дня назад +1

      @
      He went in to replace a section they had lost. Think he had a ruff spell fighting up through France, he was straffed from the air so hid under the truck.
      The back diff got wreaked but he wasn’t touched!

    Brilliant video Mucker, I really love all that part of history. That farmhouse has been restored just right, all of its scars tell an important story and shows just some of what the allies were up against when they landed in France. Really looking forward to seeing further videos of the beaches and surrounding areas when you go back. I need to visit there myself sometime.

    This should be shown to every high school history room as this is a perspective they will never get in school learning. I was on a cruise ship here in the US and asked about the engines and they fell all over themselves to get me a tour of the engine room. Possible on the next trip over? Thanks so much for showing me that lovely farm house. I can't wait for the landing beaches tours. The $250 project of course!

    Great vid Mucker👍 wonderful story about the barn, I’m sure you don’t need to be told that you were very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work there and be involved with such history. I had a similar ‘end of an era’ moment this year, when a property that I’d worked at for almost 30 years was sold, sadly, the owners, who became more than just customers, passed away, after the usual long process it was finally sold this summer. I was fair choked up when I said goodbye to the place for last time. The place was dream property, we always said we were working in paradise. Like you, I ended up doing everything for them , from a burst field drain to broken tile on the roof and everything in between. It’s amazing how attached you can come to a place that isn’t even yours after so much time. Keep up the good work 👍

    • @LordMuck

      We looked in to buying it long and hard but the reality is that unless you're going to live there full time, the upkeep as a second home is just unviable.

    I was born in England, we immigrated to Australia in the late 60s. I have only been back to England twice. I absolutely love the north. But more to it, I find history and its stories so intriguing. War is a horrible animal, but it is a part of history. What you have shown in this video has had me in awe. If you were ever to come to Australia, I would love to show you some of the stuff here from the gold days. Our history is not like England or America, but it is raw and unique. Thank you for sharing this one. Good or bad, we really do need to remember.
