Young Jack Powles provided the primary account of HMS IOLANTHE, the armed Broadland flotilla for the duration of World War 2. Jack was given the 'Young' title at Powles Hoveton~Wroxham boat yards to avoid confusion with his uncle Jack Powles.
Young Jack is pictured on BROAD AMBITION in 2008, a streamlined motor cruiser Young Jack helped build in 1966 (originally STAR SUPREME Registration number R641) when he was yard foreman.
