    My father was on Motor Launches as a engineer on D Day at first they were off Dover acting as part of a decoy force that included bombers dropping windows they then were moved to the Normandy area to act as support against any possible German navy action. At one time they were floating between the Warspite and the shore when she let rip with a broadside, the skippers comments are unprintable and they buggered off as quickly as possible

    Not sure where to put this attachment so thought i would start a thread on this subject, it then leaves it open for all types the served in the R.F.C. Look at the size of the tilt on the modelT must have had room for standing patients as well:cool2: I always have a soft spot for the Crossley, many years back when the Family ran a off shore fishing business the boat winch was powered by a engine from one of these as a kid i had operated this many times and not known untill my old chap mentioned it years later. Sadly he is no longer with us so cannot ask where they aqquired it from

    IN short no i didnt, if you are not certain it is a Milly it is more than possible a Albion CX22s a number of these still served untill the late 1960s mainly with the engineers in the later years
