My latest skipper has just completed a Channel-dash, 27 - 30 July, 1940. Apart from two destroyers SW of Plymouth we saw no other hostiles at all. Passed the Straights of Dover in broad daylight (not bravado - just poor timing) on the surface and then ran like mad for Wilhelmshaven! We even had a Zerstorer escort part of the way.
