Splendid pictures Dennis.

Small Arms, gun crews closed up.

Always admired the 'long, lean' line of the hulls on this class.

[Hornbeam]

Totally agree with you there NE, a very smart Hull line, unfortunately costly to build and not much good at "Glasgow" kissing Foreign Trawlers if the need arises again

Northumberland inbound for Northumbrian Quay in the rain this morning.

I see her Anchor is “a” cock bill as it should be, don’t want another incident with an “electrical issue” whilst coming alongside I presume she on UMS? When it first came out on MN vessels it was a bit of a nightmare in my experience, automation works perfectly well on land in an Oil Refinery but fitting on a creaking groaning buffeting ship is a different matter.
