In World War 2 a top secret Combined Operations Pilotage Parties unit of volunteers (COPP) based on Hayling Island carried out secret operations in support of the war effort, achieving many extraordinary exploits and winning over 90 medals. Their missions safeguarded the lives of thousands of Allied servicemen on campaigns such as the D-day Landings.
