Interesting look inside one of our new air defence assets. Surprised not to see at least a Lynx on board. Are they all broken again? Very impressive radar fit, I can't remember seeing an air picture that complete. Enjoy.

Ship was still undergoing trials so no helicopter flight would have been embarked. Captain Powell was Senior Divisional Officer of Blake Division when I joined BRNC in 95. A really nice chap, great to see he has got Command of T45

Jolly good that, thanks Navaleye.

Wasn't it cringe-making how b***dy scruffy the presenter was ?!:eek:

Navaleye thanks for that. Impressive chap, that captain. Double Zero, smart scruff I thought. Did his job well.
