Was great and comforting to see the young chap at 2:30 skimming stones where I always do the same thing in that same spot with 75 years parting us. Thanks for sharing the video!

Not WW2 but I enlisted into the RAF in 1982, and my first posting after training was to Portreath. I spent 3 years there. You can briefly see where I worked. The caption states it’s the domestic site. I was a Steward in the Combined Ranks Mess. The building has since been demolished.

There is a glimpse in this film of FY19. Here she is fully open decked and no fore cabin. Is this the Tosher that I knew in the 1960's belonging to Chris Cloke which now is still to be seen in the harbour converted back again to an open boat and lying at moorings under a fitted canvas cover?

@PhilsTeleTime 2 ай бұрын

Could well be. FY19 launched in 1947. May need someone with more specific boat knowledge to confirm.

My father had his first radar experience at the Jacka in August and September 1943. He was then transferred, with other radar personnel, to the Calcutta area for two years to deal with Japanese threats. He and his wife of 9 months spent their first-ever weeks of married life together in Treverbyn House in Veryan, along with other more rowdy RAF men who made life very tiresome. Thank you for your informative little video.

Had they removed all the beach defences by 1944?

@PhilsTeleTime 6 ай бұрын

The scaffolding had been taken down, apart from the bits that were uncovered by storms about 10 years ago! The anti-tank wall around the other end of the beach was still there. You can still find a couple of sections of it in the car park on the stream side. The vertical rail slots on the slipway at Smugglers were still there in 2012. See my video Invasion at Portreath for more detail kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aLqdlc-cxsmYhpc.htmlsi=_nJHqM2lMflSza3C

King George VI did observe Operation Splint (or he visited the ships shortly after Operation Splint and prior to the Invasion of Normandy)! I have done extensive research on my grandfather's service aboard LST-286, and I came across the following entry in the May 1944 War Diary of LST Group THIRTY: "(3) On May 25, 1944 at 1030 British Summer Time, His Majesty King George VI inspected the U.S. Landing Craft at Portland. He was accompanied by Admiral Ramsay, R.N., Rear Admiral Kirk, Rear Admiral Hall, and Rear Admiral Wilkes of the U.S. Navy. King George and his party inspected the LST 357, and reviewed the crew at quarters. Following this inspection, the King toured the Portland Harbor and observed the ships present." P.S. -- my grandfather is featured in your video! The first ship featured in your video is LST-286. I can't thank you enough for putting together this footage.

@PhilsTeleTime 6 ай бұрын

Hi. Thanks for your comment. I think it more likely the King visited ships after Splint. I have found no confirmation of his presence, although as the video says his surgeon was there. The date of the visit you cite is 6 weeks+ after Splint. Both the King and Winston Churchill wanted to go to Normandy on D-Day but the military wouldn't let the King and he talked Churchill out of it as the risks were too high, so morale boosting visits prior to sailing is what they had to make do with, though both got across the Channel as soon as they could afterwards Churchill managing it on 12th June. Great your grandfather is featured in the video and glad you could pick him out. I would love to hear more of his time in Cornwall prior to D-Day. If you can tell me more find the link for my website where there's a contact page where we can communicate more easily.

This was beautiful to watch. I can vividly remember holidaying as a young child where we stayed in a little cottage in a narrow road leading to a cobbled slipway onto the beach. I remember the smell of bread baking in the street. But I didn’t know where it was until I saw a news item about the storm of 2014 and the reporter was standing on that slipway to a beach… Gorran Haven! I have many happy memories of that holiday and watching this wonderful montage brought them all back. Thank you.

Great vid. My Grandmother's relations were killed at the house in Lister Street. She often told me that her and her Mother were envited for tea there that night but as a child my Gran didn't want to go. So they didn't go luckily

Thank you for sharing the family story. While every loss of life is tragic it could have been so much worse. There were a lot of 'narrow escapes' that day. So thanks for sharing your grandmother's account.
