RAF Launch at Gan Island in the Maldives.
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.
