OF 18 18
19th September, 1940.
Sir,
Re: 'FALCON 11'.
At the time small vessels were required for the
evacuation of the B.E.F. at Dunkirk, I offered my vessel,
Friday
the above-named, and on May 31st arranged with a crew of
local yachtsmen for the vessel to be taken to Dover or
across the channel. A message was received in the evening
of this day that no more vessels were to proceed, but on
Satus Saturday day
the following day (June 1st) orders were received at
Chichester that vessels had to proceed, and as there was
no time again to collect the crew, she sailed under a crew
detailed by the Chichester Yacht Co. She was proceeding
to Dover but, probably owing to the crew being unaccustomed
to the particular vessel, some trouble was experienced and
she put into Shoreham.
The following Sunday she was taken from Shoreham to
Newhaven and went across the channel to St. Valerie. From
accounts they had a pretty grim time, and four bombs exploded
near the vessel which, fortunately, only resulted in a burst
fuel tank containing 260 gallons of Diesel oil. This narrow
escape was later confirmed, quite independently, by a
Lieutenant of the R.N.V.R. who, prior to the war, had a
yacht at Chichester and knew the 'Falcon 11'.
Returning from St. Valerie to Newhaven the vessel was
taken over by the naval authorities, and is now doing routine
coastal patrol duties.
The vessel can be regarded as an 'old-timer' as she
did useful service in the last war (not under her present
name), and having come safely through that, it is hoped that
she may have the same good fortune in her second period of
service.
