WHALEBACK HSL 2601 PHOTOS

Hi Alan,

My father was also on 2601 in the med and looking at the ceramic mug he has for the same period with the places he visited enscribed, he was probably on the boat the same time as your father. His name is Glyn Williams. I do have some photographs of the period so I'll load them up when I get a chance.

Dear A. Williams

I’ve just seen your reply From Jan 2019!
It’s great to hear that your father may have been on 2601 at the same time as my father. Could you please email me any information at all about the HSL and your father’s involvement.

Many thanks

Alan

Dear A. Williams

I hope you are well, especially in the present climate.

I was wondering if you had managed to locate your pictures of HS2601? If you wouldn’t mind emailing them to me I should be most grateful.

My father, Flight Lieutenant E.R.H. 'Ted' Watson D.S.C commanded HSL 2601 when on the tiny island of Pantelleria in 1943 after the bombing.  Elliott was his coxswain.  They searched for the crew of a Wellington bomber in Sept 1943 and after hours of searching found the 5 men drifting in a rubber dinghy.
