I was the skipper of one of the boat involved in take the diver out at weekend , i have a vido which brian king did .They were, amazingly, ‘encouraged’ to pay their boat hire fees, whether the skipper had managed to get out of the bay or not! Thus, driving down to Weymouth to work on the Submarine often became a very expensive pastime! Only a small percentage of the planned did , Sorry but you are wrong , we got paid for half day full day , the group was call the special projects group which i was a member off, my boat at that time was call Gull Maren

Interesting article–A job well done. Had a soft spot for those little boats since ’58 when the Shrimp was in the same basin as us in Portsmouth.
