Something to do on saturday. She's open to the public 10am - 4pm

Just watched her come in on Web cams!

Looks like you're photo skills haven't improved Steve, you missed 9/10ths of the boat and captured Budgie Wharf instead

Yeah and a few missing Harrier's will be seen cruising around the Pool with snowflakes fitted and Kenny Loggins blasting from the comms unit.

I remember seeing her coming in back in the late 70's(not that one), it was 5 am in Plymouth and she was sailing to the scrap yard. Got turned into razorblades im led to believe.

Rod Stewart singing on the flight deck turned the metal all brittle, RN had no option but to Gillette it.

I remember seeing HMS Eagle iirc on school trip all mothballed before she got broke, that was mid 70's iirc.
