Kevin Heyward s'est inspiré d'une Austin Healey, une voiture de sport des années 1950, pour sa bière. "C'est ma fille qui en a eu l'idée", explique en souriant ce passionné de voitures âgé de 79 ans, en époussetant la sciure de son bleu de travail.

It adds, however, that “response efforts have been hampered by restrictions on the import of humanitarian mine action supp...
