Hi sea Jane

If you are in Portsmouth today, Prince of Wales should be going out to sea?

Indeed she is, but I haven't anyone handy to push the wheelchair for me today 🙂. We were told about it while onlooking yesterday.

Or not, as the case may be... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-68268560

I really must use the lift they put into M.33's dry dock to get down and have a closer look, next time!

Very good pictures, Jane.

Apologies everyone. I think with the onset of COVID I forgot to post these. ( Taken in the summer of 2019.)

 

 

 

 

HMS Queen Elizabeth was moored a bit further along. If I remember rightly while they tried to stop water coming in or to find where it was coming from. I tried to avoid getting her in my photos, but could not avoid her in this one.
