MTB are seen picking up troops and taking them to ships further out including MTB102.  Also shown is a paddle steamer with very shallow draft taking on troops close to the beach and in the distance HMS Grafton can be seen taking troops from the mole.  She was lost later during the evacuation.

Half Price! - £300.00 		With the familiar Lincolnshire countryside beckoning, a Lancaster of the famous 617 Dambusters Squadron, makes its final approach after a raid on Germany, late summer 1944.
