Aldbourne in Wiltshire is just a short drive from where I live. One of it's claims to fame is it was home to some US Paras in WW2 for awhile. You might have heard of them. Pity they didn't use the real Aldbourne in Band Of Brothers, it's a very pretty village is. The one in the mini-series was a stand in. Anyway have any members been to the Currahee Museum and seen the stables? Just wondered how it was doing. website>>> Aldboure Stable <<<
Thought I'd place my pictures of the Aldbourne stable here. Notice on one of the pictures is a lady. Her name is Monica Tovey. She is one of our wwII witnesses. This stable is the only one remaining in Europe. In here stayed soldiers of the 506th PIR, 101st AB Division. It was brought to Littlecote House in 2006. Luckely it has been salvaged in a very good condition.
I believe it was Hambleden , Buckinghamshire. http://www.visitbuckinghamshire.org/site/hambleden Band of Brothers (TV miniseries) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Hambleden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I live about 55 miles from Toccoa Georgia in the USA. I visited the Currahee Museum in the Toccoa railroad depot containing the Aldbourne stables about three weeks ago. The stables are inside and well-maintained. They contain a variety of displays related to the paratroopers who occupied them during the war. I have a posting up on my motorcycle touring blog that describes the area, including the museum. Bucky's Ride Blog
