andreadavide Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Given the fleet that served at Dunkirk, any pre war vessel would be eligible... 8-) Andrea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapper Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Maybe so, maybe consider ships/ boats TUFT, but not the entire Merchant Service between the wars. I would suggest the MN 1914-18 and 39-45 could be included in perspective of the sacrifice and close contact with the armed forces. The main concentration should be on Grey Funnel Lines and the web footed RAF (plus the international scene). MB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papav66 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I'd be interested to also see inclusion of: landing craft, subs, hovercraft & more modern stealth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GPWdriver Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I'd like a section on RAF Pinnaces between May 1931 and October 1932 only. After that time, the RAF bought any old Pinnace....... As for the Army - floaty things - think "Brown Jobs". Hoist the Gin Pennant!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Had a Teal 20 footer at Penton Hook, A long while ago. The lock keepers were a great bunch, especially if they knew you. At that time the biggest hire boat on the Thames was Maid of Britian. Thirty odd bunks. She came into one lock with a load of drunks in board who promptly spun the lines twice round the bollards, going down. The lock keeper tried to tell them and got a load of abuse. He looked at me, shrugged and signalled me into the lock. I waved him off, saying I'd wait, He then gave me the most evil grin went to the control box and opned the slucies.The noise was horrendous, cleats and lines in all directions.:cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
