![]() | 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. ![]()
