Re: Mystery Captured Flags Picture

Following extensive research into the above captured flags photo I now strongly believe that it may be linked with MTB 617 of 31st Flotilla and MGBs 606 - 607 of the 17th Flotilla. Under command of Lt Commander Don Bradford (possibly sailor at very back peering over) together with TLt Donald George ...

Re: ML 220 1st ML Flotilla

Hi everyone,

Thank you for all the information about ML220 and the photo.

It sounds as though it was a very happy boat and fitted out better than most.

Being new to the site- can I just add how impressed I am with the site and moreover with it's members!

Best wishes

Andy

Re: R M Marshall RNVR (Mike)

Dear Charles, I'm researching my Uncles service in Coastal Forces 1942-1945 as an Able Seaman and I believe he served on MTB-607 and your great uncle was his Skipper. The skipper gave him an order just before a devastating E-boat attack and by doing so, it saved his life. Have you seen the copy of t...
