I did wonder about the South Goodwin Lightship (LV90) in 1954, but only one man was saved and that was by US Helicopter.

A rescue of civilians?  From floods? 1953?

Some civilians were rescued.


Water was involved.

From the clothing I'd assume the "affair" was Operation Dynamo, the evacuation from Dunkirk.


Somewhat later.

Yes, shoot999 you are correct...


At the far end of the Brook on the right hand side on the bend.
The building is still there and is another company doing car repairs etc.


Over to you......
