1 potential matching record has been identified.
These records may contain vessel particulars, reported movements, participation assessments, named personnel and source references. A match does not by itself prove that the vessel participated in Operation Dynamo.
“Potential match” means a candidate returned by one or more indexing rules; it is not necessarily an exact identity match. Depending on the source, matching may use a normalised vessel name, a partial text or OCR hit, an alias, or related metadata. Roman-numeral suffixes such as I, II, III, IV and V may be absent, misread or separated from the base name, so records for similarly named vessels can be grouped incorrectly. Multi-word names can also produce candidates where only one significant word matches. Confirm the full name, numeral, vessel type, dimensions, builder, ownership, dates and source context before treating two records as the same vessel.
We are compiling and checking transcriptions, metadata, vessel-name matches, source references and reuse permissions before publishing further detail. This work helps prevent incomplete OCR, historic spelling variations or unverified associations from being presented as established fact.

0 potential matching records have currently been identified.
Further indexing may identify service-list entries, vessel metadata, source-page references and protected full-size document images. The absence of a current match does not establish that no relevant source exists.

These details have been aggregated from multiple sources and may include contemporary records, later recollections, claims or assertions for which no corroborating evidence has been identified. Inclusion does not establish that any account or assertion is accurate. The information may be incomplete, out of date, disputed or incorrect and should be checked against the underlying source records and independent evidence before being relied upon.

M/L (Owner, Flt. Lt. WARRIOR W.L. Douglas) This vessel left Chichester on 2nd June and arrived at Ramsgate 4th June. She appears to have been in company with the M/B's Falcon, Letitia and Idaho during this trip. The Warrior was appointed to the A.P.S. and appears to have taken no part in Dynamo. 300

Doctor Brydon a brick through all this, as he stuck to wheel carrying out my instructions, whilst I helped Westwood and Gabriel to get fresh lines back to "Idaho". Cable parted and took capstan with it. Almost lost her altogether; managed to get another line back to him. Beachy Head very close now, about 1 mile away. Time 9.45 p.m. signalling us from Beachy Head, but cannot read it, too fast. Rounded Beachy Head and Patrol Boat F. came out, asked whether I needed assistance. I asked him if he could take "Idaho" off me. He agreed and told me to follow closely as area was mined. Managed to get alongside Patrol boat to pass tow over. Port Boat davits badly bent and part rail and stanchions smashed when rolling heavily alongside Patrol Boat. "Idaho" in tow of Patrol Boat, and we following, much easier now. Dark, small stern light shown from F. and "Idaho". Followed over a very much changing course until lights were entinguished, word being passed back that enemy planes were overhead. Very difficult to hold Patrol boat now as I could only see him against an occasional search light glare. 3.6.40 About 2.a.m. Patrol boat slipped "Idaho" and told him to anchor and not to move. I drew abreast and tried to drop anchor. It would not run SO had to pull 15 fthm out of locker, and cut lashing to let it run. Anchor did not bite, so had to come back to position again, and pull up another 15 fthm, cut lashing and let it go. Anchor held this time and so shut off engines. Doctor and Westwood turned in, and Gabriel and I searched "Warrior" for any possible leaks. No leaks anywhere, so turned in as dawn was breaking. Woke about 6.30 a.m. 3.6.1940 Had breakfast. Fresh patrol boat came out and took "Idaho" in tow. We had to heave anchor up by hand. Got it up and followed inshore. Waited outside Newhaven some time and tug came out and took "Idaho" in. I followed and we berthed 12 noon. Rang Mr. Vernon to report and set to stripping anchor winch. Found winch had three inches of water in it, and armature was half submerged. Dismantled motor cleaned and dried and re-assembled. Ran quite O.K. Re-assembled winch and tested -perfect. Mr. Vernon hadarrived and told me to carry on.

Am very glad of the opportunity to make his acquaintance and hope to renew it one day. Brian Westwood Hemis one of the best. Pulled his weight in very unpleasant circumstances, nothing too much trouble and always looking for something to do. Another acquaintance I was glad to make and hope to renew. P. Gabriel Have known him for years and came well up to my expectations. A very useful man in adverse weather conditions. Will see it out with the best. Not easily rattled amd does not complain. Engine etc. The R.N. engines ran perfectly the whole time under very trying conditions. Never missed a beat and gave not the slightest eause for anxiety. Port engine used more lubricating oil than the other, and oil pressure was slightly lower (25-20) respectively. Gear boxes not so good. Did not like the tendency Ramsgate Harbour in very congested conditions, Port engine gave In full of the clutches to stick in when supposed to be in neutral. it speed astern with control lever at full ahead.

Should also suggest fitting two rear view mirrors in wheel house to givebetter view astern. In connection with the towage of "Idaho" should suggest fitting a heavy ring plate on top of petrol and gas store to enable tow rope to be made fast and all gear, rails etc. aft of this made removable to allow for sweep of tow rope. Control was very difficult when towing from right aft in a heavy sea. Should finally suggest the carrying of a long 9" bass warp for towing if required as it has so much more spring. Finally I came to like "Warrior" very much and respect her. A good sea boat and no great vices, obviously the product of practical knowledge and great interest. X Log appears to over register. K. S.

Every moment we thought it would be our turn for the machine guns which the Huns were using on small craft. of Meanwhile, there was wreckage all around us. One of the craft alongside was in trouble with its engines, and we gave them a hand getting their engines going, after which we proceeded on our course back to Dover. Eventually we got by across the Goodwins when darkness set in.
