    Today's Yorkshire Post reports attendance of 45K in the first five days with 13K on Saturday, setting a new record.....seems the idea of the reunion is bearing fruit...........

    And it was a privilege to speak to many of these man 1st hand. Wonderful event that shows it's all about people at the end; they bring the exhibits to life.
