The 80th Anniversary of the Commissioning of HISC for COPP HQ
As many of you know, HISC has a plentiful history - including our sailing club being used by the Royal Navy in WW2 as the base for COPP (Combined Operations Pilotage Parties).
These were dedicated teams trained in covert operations, reconnoitring beaches selected for landings on enemy occupied territory throughout the world.
HISC was officially commissioned as COPP HQ on 4th February 1943.
