There was a reference in TO THE THUNDERER HIS ARMS but can't find my copy now, and I believe that it might also be in the third copy of the 1 and 2 Det War Diaries that Clive sent me...I only have two after our house move.

Hi David;
According to TO THE THUNDERER HIS ARMS, it states on page 95, for 30 November 1940:
the personnel from No. 2 Detachment were nevertheless able to save more than 20 completely assembled vehicles and several machinery lorries from the dockyard assembly area
Hope this helps.
Cheers
