Operation Dynamo
- 27 May 2010 01:3153528Maersk Dover is hosting all sorts of events today in celebration of the 70th anniversary of Operation Dynamo, the Dunkirk evacuation. She will be berthing in Dunkerque East and will be carrying veterans and military vehicles. There will be a military band and massed choirs together with all manner of VIP's.
We have been preparing for this for some time so I hope it all goes off OK! The BBC will be onboard so there should be coverage on the TV tonight. I shall also be onboard and hopefully will be able to put some photos and commentary on here when I get back on friday. - 27 May 2010 06:1953530Well done in advance Ed..will be very good to see anything you can get. Yer an ace man!
Saw a Royal Navy warship last evening over on the west pier..dont know anything about the vessel..didnt see it coming in, and was too gloomy and too late when I saw the ship to get a picture. She slipped away quietly too but am assuming she was something to do with the Dunkirk celebrations. Bet its exciting in Ramsgate today.
