At this early stage there is little to really worry about. It is but 12 months before D-Day, when we'll leave our encampment, have our last chow, and start eastwards.
Speculation and gentle pottering has allowed some light reflection on our potential mode of transport. So far there have been a number of suggestions. All agree that it is simply no use trying to visit all our targets via plane. It's strengths as a strategy are that it would be very quick and the photographs would capture a unique angle. The negatives are that it would be somewhat expensive, the trip would feel somewhat abbreviated, and we may not feel that we've truly connected to the history that lies beneath. Similarly a marine approach is redundant. We might reach Pegasus Bridge pretty effectively down the River Orne, but then our progress would be halted.
And so a roadworthy vehicle must be procured. The early frontrunner is above.
