My late father George Heard (CFVA member 1212) was a stoker on MTB 723 and MTB 5009. While researching for an account of his wartime service, I came across these photographs. In the whole crew photo, Dad is in the second row from the rear, behind the CO (Samuel Stewart, I believe). In the other photo, Dad is on the left, with two of his shipmates. I would be very interested to hear if anyone can provide names for those two, or indeed for any of the other crew members. I know of at least two former CFVA members (Donald Campbell and Jim Donaldson) who served on 5009 at the same time as my father. Perhaps someone here can recognise them in these photographs?
