Hi there,

Just wanted to point out as ever, well worth seeing latest on their button, latest with a fantastic picture of HMCMTB 640, in colour head on at speed, not sure how it was taken! but of course point being Canada day yesterday and the contribution of the Royal Canadian Navy and their coastal forces, many lost tragically in the accident at Ostend....thought perhaps, recreation? of same shot with MGB81 but then again, perhaps none really needed...., all the best,

The Veteran's website has linked to the Veteran's latest published Autumn Newsletter

The London Branch CFV is currently still functioning and meets quarterly on-board HMS Belfast in the Pool of London.

Hello there,

Many thanks for this link, received my postal copy the other day, great to see, also today coverage of the sail past to mark centenary of coastal forces at Portsmouth, advised MTB 102 could not make it, which was a pity, but HDML Medusa did, coverage on www.bbc.co.uk Hampshire and IOW tab...great to see this of course, well done to all for their efforts.
