Not the greatest pictures but we've just spent a lovely weekend in Portsmouth. We paid to go out on a landing craft and get a view of the carriers in harbour.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Awesome pieces of kit that these pictures don't really do justice to but I thought some of you may like them

Very nice! They certainly are impressive, and good to see them together at Pompey.

 

I took some similar photos a few weeks ago, could I post them in your thread as well @jhutchi?

After growing up seeing the Hermes, Buklwark and then the Invincibles there, it is certainly a step up. I'm quite envious of you doing the tour in style, I've only been past there on the usual tour boats and the ferry.

Thanks very much! Here they are, including a couple of 'fly-by' videos!

 

 

Here's a distant shot of POW coming back to Pompey after her first trip out following repairs:

Thanks again @jhutchi for letting me piggyback your thread 🙏

It was a last minute trip to Portsmouth booked Friday afternoon and we went on Saturday. Mrs H wanted to see the Mary Rose which was also very impressive

They're certainly not small are they

Nope, they're pretty big
