Whaleback S32 CURRENT LOCATION: 

Salhouse Broad, NR13 6RX – Salhouse Broad

ASR activity was determined to be crucial in the fight to win WW2: planes were easily replaced but skilled pilots and crew were vital, hence the ASR call to arms:

“the sea shall not have them”

Our Goals:

1: Strive to increase awareness of the crucial work of the Air Sea Rescue Service in World War 2.

2: Create a craft as a focal point to achieve Goal #1

3: Respect the service and history of all craft and personnel involved or referenced in the project.

Our next milestone is to recover S32 to a place of dry hardstanding safety, for assessment and to commence restoration works. Our Fundraising Goal is currently £20,000 which will allow us to do this.
