Did anyone read the recent article in the New Yorker about the colour 
footage of D Day (motion picture) that has only just been uncovered. It 
was shot by a team of camera men under John Houston. 

It was a fascinating story in itself, of how the footage came to be and 
then never saw the light of day. As well as the work of the camera men 
on the beaches. I think the footage would be something to see - we are 
so used to WWII being in black and white - when it wasn't..
