Dunkirk?

Just waiting for the diplomatic posturing to fail before we embark on what the FCO are calling "the biggest evacuation since Dunkirk."

I suggest this ain't a Dunkirk by any stretch of the imagination!

How many hundreds of ships and boats made the trip between Dover and Dunkirk?

How many dozen squadrons provided CAP?

Over 300,000 combat troops being chased off the continent by several Armies of German troops was it?

That was a real feat.....this is just another pax move.
