Plymouth
Waiting around for a lecture at plymouth uni earlier there were 3 sea kings knocking around for a fair while over the sound. looked like they were in junglie colours.
Any idea what they were doing? assume their attached to a ship, probs ocean.

On another note, look out your window again in a few minutes as they are going back to Plymouth now for a troop pickup. Just came overhead my house enroute. Then going back to Yeovilton again.
Looks like they are just ferrying troops from Plymouth to Yeovilton all day

SU - how on earth are they getting the Still and West down to Guz without spilling anything, or is there something more important in the pic that I've missed?

That's Portsmouth....
And yes, I know that the shot is of Portsmouth. My old Dad lived literally round the corner from that boozer.

I think c-bert was stating that the photo is Portsmouth, not the Thursday Wars. (His post was written at same time as the one above).
To do with the fact that Skip Undo thought that Jungly's flying over Plymouth today (Thursday) might have been greeting the arrival of a ship in Pompey yesterday.
Mind you, Mackay is a student - maybe he was p!!$$ed and woke up in Pompey to the sound of Jungly's, thinking he was still in Plymouth and having lost a day to the 'beer monster'

Thats an awesome picture......
..... but not half as "awesome" as it must have been in 1960 when VANGUARD, 46000 tons and 815 feet v a Type 45's 7200 tons and 500 feet, nearly demolished the Still & West whilst under tow on the way to the breakers!

That's far too complimentary - even ABDIEL had a better looking funnel .......

Did anyone else spot our latest stealth ship hiding round the back of that pub?
It may be invisible to radar but it certainly is visible to the naked eye - d'you think they overlooked this during the design phase?
