That sounds inherently unlikely. Do you have any details? Hey there Sid. I will look in the file cabinet later tonight and try and track down the bits. The "assets" were not large. IIRC they were mostly a handful of floatplanes. But I will try and find the specifics for you later. My Rega...

Enrico - Are you suggesting that the Axis forces did not fib on such things to their citizens during the war? I hope not.

As to the HMS Rodney, I will have to check the manifests so see if there was a CPO Miller onbaord. I've not read the book in question, so I will give her a look sometime.
