Peter, there is a picture of three of the 55th with teeth and Ken Forrester identifies the middle boat as MTB 630.

Thank you for the info Roger. I'm gradually putting together some good information thanks to the Forum. Have you any info on HMS Mentor 11, my father was stationed there from the 29th May 42 - 28th July 42. Regards. Peter

The photograph Roger mentions can be seen in the memoir written by Ken Forrester entitled If I only had known which details his time with the 55th MTB Flotilla.

Mentor II was the Coastal Forces base at Stornoway in the Hebrides.
