World War Two / Re: Mystery ship at St Nazair June 18th 1940
« on: Wednesday 09 March 11 22:01 GMT (UK) »I was talking to a gentleman (age about 90) a year or so ago after the Lancastria memorial service in Edinburgh who had been at St Nazaire on 17th June 1940. He had been ordered to smash up Motor bikes with a sledgehammer in a warehouse at St Nazaire to stop them being used by the enemy.I can understand why that was done, dad said the engine on his bike was a deep red it was so hot but kept going.
