Absolutely – if you ever visit Omaha Beach, the bloodiest of the D-Day landing beaches, the similiarity between the coastline there and at Filey/Bridlington is striking. In Alan Brookes war diary, he notes that early on in his appointment of C in C Home Forces he toured this stretch of coast-line and was impressed with the progress of the coastal defences, saying that ‘much good work has been done there’. I suspect that the undoing of the British defences, if a landing had ever happened, would have been a simple matter of lack of ammunition and a lack of an effective mobile reserve to deal with any glider/parachute landings in depth of the beach. Even today however, one can see that the various pill boxes and associated defences were very well sited indeed.

I’ve walked this stretch of the beach and you really get a feel for just how defensive all this stretch actually was. I for one wouldn’t have wanted to be landing there!!

I met Andy at the Battalion homecoming parade through Windsor in 2008. My youngest son a Coldstream Guard once told me that RSM Johnson was the politest man he had ever met! Having met him I have to agree! I look forward to reading his book & wish him well in his new career. A surprising MAN.
