If you ever get the chance to go to Malta, have a look in the Military museum in Valetta. There is a lot of good stuff to look at. Malta is only about 3-4 hours from the UK and almost eveyone speaks English and they drive on the left (most of the time!). The sun shines all year round and the whole Island is dotted with Military bits and bobs. Attached are some ordnance pics from the museum and Fort Rinella and it's 100 ton gun. Tony.
