French SOE commemoration

I saw this on the CVA forum.

Will be coming through the canal next month.

The commemoration coincides with the visit to Scotland of the cutter Mutin , the oldest ship currently in the Marine Nationale, to mark the 90th anniversary of her launch. Mutin was launched in 1927 as a sail training ship, and, disguised as a French tuna fishing boat, was engaged in SOE operations during WW2. From 10th to 13th July, she will be traversing the Caledonian Canal from Inverness to Fort William, and on 12th July will be at Gairlochy.

It visited Falmouth a few years ago.

The Google link probably won't work, having difficult getting the direct URL

MUTIN

There was a commemoration at the Commando Memorial today with the crew of the MUTIN and a small group of French Commando. A C-130 did a fly-past - we presume it was a fly-past and not coincidence!
