And a ship... A76 Is this an RFA vessel? Ship fans here will surely help in identifying this for us all.

 

Cheers.

Paul you're right about A76 being an RFA vessel, she was RFA Tidepool (A76) and was a Tide class replenishment oiler of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary and her last tour was the Falklands War, she was originally sold to Chile but was reclaimed by the UK government so she could go to war and was finally handed over to the Chilean Navy on 13 August 1982 and renamed Almirante Jorge Montt.
