If the little grey cells are working she was sold to Wyr Waste Management of Fleetwood and put back into class about 1998.

They then sold her to Africa????

Or did she end up in the Azores.

Seem to remember she turned up in the background of another photograph some time back.............

Quite right about her being in the background of a pic Paul. She was in the background of a pic taken either in Azores or Cape Verde Islands which appeared on Riverside many moons ago.
Recognised her straight away, she still had BHC, thats Blyth Harbour Comission and not Port of Blyth, funnel markings.
When she went to Fleetwood she was only classed for smooth water trading so how she managed to get so for south was a mystery.
And before the comedians say anything I know it's right out of Fleetwood, keep the land on your port side, miss Lands End and keep going (hopefully)
