For the subject of my drawings this month I have chosen to illustrate the craft which was under the command of F/Lt R. 'Spencer, a schoolmaster. who had formerly served in the Merchant Navy after gaining his pilots "wings" with the RFC in the first World War. I have reproduced HSL 120 as closely as I can to her appearance at the time that she accompanied Admiral Wake-Walker to Dunkirk on the night of June 3-4th 1940, when he went across to complete the final act of that epic event. Under the Command of F/Lt Spencer, HSL 120 was allotted the task of acting as the Admiral's "remount barge" should his own craft become unserviceable for any reason. I am most grateful to Bob Spencer for all his help regarding details of his craft, and to George Dewar, who served on HSL 121 at Newhaven in those early days.

Thank you for looking
