Ray Cowles Motorcycles Pontypool

I've lived in South Wales for the best part of 25 years, and for the first few years lived near Pontypool. I used to drive past this shop every day on my way to work in Cardiff. I didn't have a bike license at the time, so it didn't much interest me - but it always struck me as looking as though it was lost in time. Roll on a quarter of a century and even though I don't live near it now, whenever I pass through Pontypool I've found myself taking the side road to see if its still there. I must have said to everyone a thousand times, "I've got to go and take a look" after all, surely it wont still be there next year.... So, at last, welcome to Ray Cowles Motorcycles of Pontypool.

Operation Colossus

Io sono il nipote di Robert Brimer Watson, uno degli primi paracadutisti inglesi chi fecero parte dell’incursione nel confine di Calitri di febbraio 1941, si chiamò ‘L’operazione Colosso’. Fu la prima volta che l’esercito Brittanico usò i paracaduti per un’incursione nel territorio nemico, e intendevano distruggere l’acquedotto sul Tragino. Dopo l’incursione, lo squadrone inglese intendeva andare a piedi al imbocco della Sele, sud di Napoli a ritrovare un sottomarino inglese, pero stati catturati e signor Watson stato imprigionato per due anni, in gran parte a Sulmona, e finalmente evase da prigione e scappato a piedi in Svizzera. So che questa storia successe molti anni fa, pero io vorrei sapere cos’é successo a mio nonno, sopratutto del periodo ‘in fuga’, e mi chiedo se ci sia qualcuno a Calitri che potrebbe aiutarmi risolvere questo mistero. Se potrebbe aiutarmi, il mio indirizzo é mikepackwood6@gmail.com Vi ringrazio. _______________________________________...
