Hi John, It did make me think as this was the only one of the 5 Mine Warfare vessels that passed me with the bridge armament uncovered and ready. The fact that they had passed by the visible wreck of HMS Port Napier a WWII mine-layer that was loaded with 580 odd mines for her predecessors to "work" with a couple of minutes before this shot was taken, may have had a bit to do with it too :-)

Dont mention the Germans.
The man on the bridge is unhappy with you Derek, he is definitely pointing something at you.
If you stop posting suddenly, I will know why.
Hope you was not near your car when you took this, they can trace a number plate in seconds.
Have a nice day.
