The Dunkirk Spirit



On the river today. A boat that was part of the flotilla that sailed to Dunkirk to evacuate the soldiers. You can tell by the insignia in the St Georges Cross flag. You do not get to fly it if you did not do it. Bloody marvellous!

Bull Dog Spirit. Look at how tiny it is but it crossed the channel to save our soldiers.
