Hello,
I have been researching a matter to do with Operation Dynamo for some years, which has to do with Cdr. J. Campbell Clouston who died on 2 June and who, in 1935 married a good friend of my parents Gwyneth Lilian Vanderump. I recently came across your interesting website by chance and am especially interested in the MTBs role at Dunkirk such as MTB 102 which was used as R-A Wake-Walker's flagship during the evacuation ... and also MTB 120 of the 100-series. The picture of the two side by side MTBs is exceptional!
Here’s my question:
About a year ago I came across an intriguing RAF-MCS article posted on August 27, 2016 at https://weaponsandwarfare.com/2016/08/27/marine-craft-section-mcs-at-dunkirk-1940/ titled Marine Craft Section (MCS) at Dunkirk 1940. Luckily I downloaded and saved it at the time, as the website seems to have disappeared and is no longer accessible. The article is fascinating as it makes some unique statements that do not follow the Navy’s line at all. There is unfortunately no reference as to who may have written or contributed to it, perhaps more than one author?
I wonder if you might know. I will look forward to your reply and thank you.
Best wishes
