Hello. I realise this post was made some time ago but my father was on MGB 660 during the second world war and he does have a few photographs of the boat and some of the crew members.

Photos of MGB 660 appear on page 38 of The Fairmile D (Anatomy of The Ship series) and page 97 of Allied Coastal Forces of WWII vol I, both by John Lambert and both alongside at Bastia. There is also a line drawing of 660 on page 113 of the latter publication.

There is a photo of MGB 660 at Bastia on Page 389 in the book 'Adriatic Naval War 1940 to 1945' by Zvonimir Freivogel. Also, in the book, there are various references to MGB 662 & Lt Cdr Bligh.
