I am researching the recent history of the Ferry Inn at Surlingham and the naval naval vessels that tied up outside. Now I recall about 1995 an MTB being temporarily on public display there before moving on. At the time I was told the original engines had been replaced and if my memory is correct, the same vessel took part in the D day landings. From my online researches I am guessing this was either MTB257 or MTB653. Can anyone clarify this and even more importantly has anyone a photograph of it especially at Surlingham.
