Lindau - M1072

Postby Whickham » Wed Jun 07, 2017 7:43 am

German Type 320 or Lindau class minehunter LINDAU - M1072 at Blyth on a courtesy visit.
She was built by Burmester Bremen in 1958 and transferred to Estonia as SULEV in 2000.
Can't now identify the RN minesweeper inboard. Missing grey cells and non-existant notes.

Lindau and Hurworth visited Blyth in May 1990 as part of a Nato standing group. Also present were minesweepers Delfzil : Gronsund : Guldborgsund : Iris and the support ship Saar. They sailed from Blyth on 21 May 1990.
