Title: Re: rolls royce rally 15th may Post by: renegade53 on May 15, 2011, 05:07:32 PM fanally a canada goose. all in all it was quite an enjoyable day and like the show at basingstoke a freebie for the public. did make a donation to the little ships fund. some of those boats were carrying 40 odd troops at the time. an interesting thing there were 2 more like dunkirk, forgotten the names now. one rescued 180,000 from the beaches the other about 40,000 from the beaches. there a bit of useless info for yer. no doubt someone will come up with the codenames of the other 2.
