DUKW - a photo on Flickriver

DUKW

            The model has been made by a very talented model maker Simon Elmer, it represents a DUKW coming ashore at Aromanche on June 23rd 1944 just as the Mulberry harbour is coming into full use after the storms, The DUKW is operated by the Royal Army Service Corp and the crew of 3 have just collected a netted load from a small coaster anchored inside the Mulberry Harbour. The are coming ashore at the designated point as a Naval officer watches them in and no doubt directs them to their drop off point. My love of the DUKW stems from going for sea rides on them at Mablethorpe in the 1950s and 1960s with my Grandfather who just happened to be in the Army Service Corp in WW1 hence the connection.
