Overleg:Operatie Manna en Chowhound

2007 reenaction?

Hello! I'm writing the Russian WikiArticle on the operation Manna. Could you please translate this part and put it into the English Wiki:

Op 28 april 2007 werd de Britse Air Commodore Andrew Geddes, die de voedseldroppings voorbereidde, de onderhandelingen voerde en de deelaccorden ondertekende, geëerd met het vernoemen van een wandelweg in de Rotterdamse wijk Terbregge als het Air Commodore Geddespad. Dit pad voert langs het Manna/Chowhound monument in de geluidswal van de noordelijke rondweg om Rotterdam. De onthulling van de naam werd verricht door Lieutenant-Commander Angus Geddes RN (zoon van de Air Commodore) uit Engeland en Warrant Officer David Chiverton uit Australië (kleinzoon). Informatie van Hans Onderwater, schrijver van twee boeken over de Voedseldroppings en secretaris van de Stichting Voedsel en Vrijheid.

I'll try to find this part now in English on Google, but there could be some aspects existing only in Dutch. Best regards, --CopperKettle 28 nov 2008 21:36 (CET).

On April 28, 2007, the British Air Commodore Andrew Geddes, who prepared the food droppings, negotiated with the Germans and who signed the temporary agreement, was honored when a hiking trail in the Rotterdam district of Terbregge, the Air Commodore Geddespath, was named after him. This path takes you past the Manna/Chowhound monument in the soundwall of the northern ringroad around Rotterdam. The official disclosure of the name was performed by Lieutenant-Commander Angus Geddes RN (the son of Air Commodore Geddes) from England and Warrant Officer David Chiverton from Australia (grandson of Air Commodore Geddes). (Information was provided by Hans Onderwater, author of two books on the Droppings and secretary of the Food and Freedom Foundation).
