I'm not familiar with that abbey. Is it still occupied?
Oh yes the Abbey is very much in use.General Patton and his team knocked it about a bit,it has been repaired beautifully.As to the crash,it was handy having most of the local police force,fire service,army,navy and airforce at the wedding to assist at the shamozzle.No one was hurt,but Charlie Chaplin could have felt well at home at the scene! The one abiding memory I have, is seeing the chief of police in full uniform directing opperations with sword drawn in the midst of the wreckage!
