    I hope members would be able to assist me in a small project I started some time ago, where I was collating information about Evacuation ships of the Channel Islands June 1940. I have now concluded my reaserch but alas I am missing photos of only a few ships which I hope someone can help fill the blanks I have, the following are those I do not have a photo of;

    Glen Tilt, Continental Coaster, Deal, Guernsey Queen, Maidstone, Madeleine-Kamiel, Porthmorna & Present Help.

    Regards

    I am also interested in finding a photo of the SS Glen Tilt. The Glen Tilt was among the last merchant ships to leave Norway after the Germans had invaded as part of Convoy HN.25 which departed Norwegian Waters on 9 April 1940 and arrived Methil on 12 April 1940.

    A bit of a long shot maybe but here may be worth a try for you, if you haven't already tried them before (link below, contact details at bottom of same).

    Guernsey Photographic Archive

    Also, you may wish to ask the folks there about The Timewell Merchant Navy Collection that they hold.

    Good luck, hopefully they may hold images of the ships you seek.

    Kind regards, always,

    Jim.

    Thanks Jim, I have emailed them. My grandfather served on the Glen Tilt when they escaped from Norway on 9th April 1940.
