Aftermath of Dunkirk in Colour

Some colour footage of Dunkirk after the evacuation. I am wondering if the London barge on the Beach with its sails torn is the "Ena". The Ena was salvaged after the war and brought back to Ipswich, she is still berthed at Pin mill and sails on the river Orwell.

There's a picture of the 'Ethel Everard' on ebay.de at the moment but it's not her as she is facing North up the coast and yours has the port side visible.



The 'Ethel Everard' was beached whilst carrying water supplies.

Just came across this today. Fantastic picture and video. Here's some info on the Hudsons from the RAF webpage: Lockheed Hudson IIIA airplane pictures & aircraft photos - RAF Museums
