A most enjoyable and educational day out today aboard the 'Fort Victoria'.
Thanks to a very kind invitation I was able to view this ship at close quarters and had a very nice tour of the facilities she offers.
The Royal Fleet Auxiliary vessels and men are essential to the running of the Royal Navy.
One point worthy of mention though, is my trip aboard the FML (Fast Motor Launch) as this was the final time she will be launched and used by the RFA before being retired.
I'll leave the images to do the talking, but must express my gratitude to all those concerned for making it such a memorable day.
