    For new members and those who may not know, Blondie Hasler was a cockleshell hero, and of course a 'junkie', and more.

    Saw this post and thought people might be interested to know that there is an information board at The Folly Inn on the River Medina, Isle of Wight telling about Fred Goatacre who designed the folding canoes used for the raid. A 'forgotten' hero.
