Photo shoot with WW2 RAF Rescue Launch 102 on the Solent - 14.06.22

Post by clee2011 »

Last Tuesday I spent a superb morning on the Solent and south of the Isle of Wight on a Timeline Events photo charter shooting the RAF Launch HSL 102. Built by the British Power Boat Company at Hythe near Southampton in 1936. Capable of a speed of up to 40 knots, boats of this class rescued more than 13,000 airmen from the sea. HSL 102 herself saved 38 aircrew.
