HMS Talent Transits to Faslane Naval Base

Been a fairly busy day and fortunate enough to catch HMS Talent as she heads to Faslane.

Light dropped badly yet again, and submarines are not the easiest of subjects at the best of times.

Still, another capture.

HMS (Lusty) Illustrious at Glen Mallon, Scotland

 HMS (Lusty) Illustrious arrived at Glen Mallon Jetty in Loch Long this morning.

She will be there for a number of days before heading to Norway for a military exercise.

She is sadly the only Carrier currently serving in the Royal Navy fleet thanks to severe government cut-backs in the Ministry of Defence.

She also has no Fleet Air Arm or RAF jets to fulfil her function due to the same cuts.

Rule Britannia? - I think perhaps not as we would wish.
