River Clyde - Clydebank


Having missed the 'Duncan' when she went out on her sea trials I was keen to get a few shots as she returned.

Unfortunately this meant an early start as she was taking her pilot aboard at 06:30 off Greenock.

Headed to Clydebank with the weather threatening wind and rain.

Pleased to say that it more or less stayed dry - though getting colder for sure.

While waiting I met a lady (Josie) who had come down to see 'Duncan' pass as her daughter was aboard. She was also telling me that her husband served on the original HMS Diamond.

Amazing the people you meet when out and about.
