Header photo above is of my Welsh maternal grandparents, parents, aunt and uncle on a camping holiday in Czechoslovakia in 1966. The tent frame was made in the GDR, the orange canvas was from Hungary. If you understand Hungarian, read this article I wrote about western lefties who travelled east during the Cold War. Donated to Fortepan by me. Source
