Hi,

For you nautical types, I saw Ark Royal sailing out of Portsmouth yesterday. She looked rather nice but 'twas a bit of a misty day and as my camera platform was cruising at 30kts the pics didn't turn out as good as I'd have hoped.


We saw a large ship looming out of the mist, thought she was a tanker at first but then realised her true identity :smile:

There is always something magical about a ship looming out of the mist and sailing past only to fade away again :think:

Thanks for sharing John :smile:

I fear not elderly men, even with admin rights !

Remember I've been brought up in the country occupied by tall, drunk, blond bombshells with a bad temper...! What could possibly be worse....

And I'm STILL happy...
