Please RT ! InkBlot Films have worked with us on several projects- The Veterans Trail and In the Footsteps of Hank Haydock - now their gear has been stolen.
STOLEN! We're miffed to say we've had our film gear stolen from York. Items taken include 2 tripods, a boom pole, and lights that live in this box (pictured). If you see anyone trying to sell it, or use it - it's ours! Report to police/let us know. PLEASE SHARE.

Those amazing gents. York Normandy Veterans.
As I head down to Normandy for #DDay80 with @YorkWW2DDayVets we reflect on previous trips. In 2016 the last few of the ‘Magnificent Seven’ York veterans made this crossing at Sword Beach echoing a more famous one at Abbey Road.
