Could this be NARICA?
According to Miramar she was Keel: 22.2.66; Launch Date: 25.4.67

or perhaps TARBATNESS
again according to Miramar she was Keel: 15.4.66; Launch Date: 22.2.67

I would go for TARBATNESS at Neptune Yard.

NARICA was Wallsend.

On careful consideration of the facts and having looked at the plan of the yard, your right. :oops: :oops:

The building in the background is the Assembly shop.

Which of course has to make it NARICA.

Trials date was the 7th September 1967 with hand over the next day.
