This image shows one of the landing craft that the RAF used on Gan Island (Maldives, Indian Ocean) to ferry our discharged cargo ashore. It is a poor image but records a scene that has passed into history. The image was captured from the deck of the Thos and Jno Brocklebank cargo liner SS Mahseer during my first voyage to sea as a Radio Officer in late 1963 to early 1964.
