   Hello there,

Something by the by...just seen on south east BBC news, piece on a couple who got married in Folkstone in the day of the Channel Dash, to the sounds of gun fire, had to shout above the noise during the ceremony....talked of course of the Swordfish attack, the shore guns and RAF....guess not the biggest component but of course MTB 219 and others took part, mentioned before great painting by the telegraphist on board, shows him firing a rifle on deck as his radio had been destroyed, painting the officers mess at RAF Manston....
