- 2 Feb 1942 // HM Trawler Cloughton Wyke, sweeping off Cromer with other minesweeping trawlers, was attacked by a German aircraft while immobilised by mechanical breakdown. She sank after a bomb exploded close under her stern, with four of her crew killed. #RoyalNavy #WW2 #NavalHistoryFeb 2, 2026 18:06
- It feels as though the RN should have a day devoted to the memories of the trawlers and drifters, and their crews. 02 Feb would seem to be a good day for this memorial. While not British or even Commonwealth, I would be willing to chip for such a campaign.
- That is a great idea. What they did, and the price they paid, should be remembered.
