Story

In 2010 we will be travelling by motorcycle to St Nazaire to commemorate what is known as the Greatest Raid of all Time.  The St. Nazaire Raid also called Operation Chariot was a successful Brittish  seaborne attack on the heavily defended docks of St Nazaire in occupied France on the night of 28th March 1942. The operation was undertaken by Royal Navy and Army Commando. St. Nazaire was targeted as the loss of its dry dock would force any large German warship in need of repairs, namely theTirpitz, to return to home waters rather than seek safe haven in the Atlantic coast.
