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!
A video of that would have been priceless.

Do you happen to know which order occupies the abbey? I can't find it listed in the Benedictine directory.
