Join them for coverage of Dunkirk in June 2010 at the 70th commemoration of the evacuation of 338,000 allied troops from the beaches of the Northern French port – from May 26 to June 4 1940, during World War II.
There are a series of articles in the August issue (2010) for this event featuring the boats, the vets, the crossing and return of some 50 of the Association of Dunkirk Little Ships.
This five minute video has been made by Lara Leslie, a professional documentary maker (of Cut Both Ways) who travelled with the Classic Boat team to Dunkirk.
It commemorates the continued five yearly returns of the Little Ships and the extraordinary valour of the soldiers of the British Expeditionary Force, plus the sailors of the Royal and Merchant Navies, fishermen and Little Ship owners, who rescued them while under fire from the Germans.
