Pioneering Royal Navy unit commemorated at Rosia Bay

A plaque and information boards commemorating the Underwater Working Party have been unveiled in Rosia Bay.

The pioneering 2nd World War Royal Navy unit was based in Gibraltar, tasked with inspecting Allied ship hulls and neutralising enemy limpet mines.

Navy veterans and dignitaries gathered to hear stories about the small team of heroic divers in the UWWP who risked their lives in Gibraltar harbour.

The unit was founded by Lieutenant Bill Bailey and was later famously led by Lieutenant Lionel "Buster" Crabb.

Lieutenant Bailey's son attended the event.
