Re: Wellington ditching - Berlin op info sought

It is worth pointing out that Coastal Forces MGBs and MLs (even MTBs) carried out ASR duties. They were given set positions/sectors and allowed a bit of latitude concerning engagement with enemy forces. A look at the Coastal Forces records will show that RN craft were on ASR duty most nights in the war. Many but not all operated under the command of Dover.

If you ever nail down an approximate date I may be able to find out some more about craft involved.

Hope this helps,
Bruce
