[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 128007, member: 456"] We in the Kent and Sussex section of the VOC were lucky enough to know Bob and Beryl Peacham who were our hosts at their farmhouse for over fifty years. On one occasion Beryl told me that as a young girl she remembered the air fight going on above her as she went out to rescue her horse from the fields. The unfortunate animal was killed by a stray bullet as she made her way to it, and it could so easily have been Beryl. We were also lucky enough to have Joe Karasek as a member. He was on the other side during the war, taken prisoner and put to work on a farm in the South East where he settled and married an English woman. It was he who saved the Vincent three wheeler from almost certain destruction by buying it from Harpers when he heard of its existence. As a scientist who has worked with people from many parts of the world I have come to realise that it is not the people who are the problem but the self serving, lying politicians. The VOC is a very good example how people from many different backgrounds can share some of the joys of life without anyone having to be disadvantaged. We are lucky to live in the time that we do, covid not withstanding. [/QUOTE]
