HMS Maid Marion

Hi. My grandfather served on the HMS Maid Marion, a Cornish lugger during the evacuation on La Rochelle in 1940. Ive just spoken to the owner who feels that there are two Maid Marion . Would anyone know of a list of ships that took part in Operation Aerial so I can check that there was only one?
Many thanks

 

Operation Aeriel, June 1940

This is a great place to begin.

 

Thanks. Will have a look

 

I think HMS Maid Marion was an almost new steam yacht.

There were two MAID MARIONs. HMS MAID MARION which was an armed yacht and the Cornish lugger MAID MARION (Association of Dunkirk Little Ships). So I expect Apollo's grandfather was on the armed yacht which was the only ship of the two that was HMS.

Thank you. I cant seem to find any record of HMS Maid Marion ( armed yacht) except for one in USA. Do you have any idea where I can find some more information please?

 

Thanks hugh. HMS Maid Marion is stamped on my grandfather's discharge form. I assumed it was the Maid Marion so that was agreat help. He was also a second steward and the Maid Marion seemed a bit small to have a second steward. Would you know know where I could find a photo of the ship please?

 

Have a look through this link from top to bottom. Camper and Nicholson - Maid Marion - where is she now? - Vintage & Classic Yachts | YachtForums: We Know Big Boats!
