Tersia and me visited the military history museum at Idrija on 13 July 2017.
I was most impressed as they have a separate special display of SAAF 16 & 19 squadron attacks on Idrija.
The museum owner and curator, Slavko Moravec, together with colleagues Tomaz Stravs and Dimitrij Kavcic, took us around the museum as well as a quick tour in the city showing us the major SAAF target sites of 1945.
Wonderful experience!
