Chris,
The ASR units start at AIR29/441 in the N/A catalogue, i can't find Amble among the units. Could it possibly come under one of the units shown.

Hi Chris,

Ross provided a list of ASR units on this old thread:

Gents,
nearest launch base was Blyth, but the RAF salvage vessel 'Kernooser', set sail from Amble, along with a RAF speed launch. It will have hopefully been recorded in the Blyth ORB.

Thank you for your help

Chris
