Joint Warrior Exercise - Departures

 Another early start this morning as I headed for Glen Mallan to see the FGS Frankfurt Am Main leave the jetty and depart Loch Long and out to sea.

Then back across the South side of the river and down to Greenock.

Met up with my friends and we had the usual craick at each others expense as we photographed the remainder of the NATO fleet as it departed.

They sailed from Glasgow and headed out to sea for the first Joint Warrior Exercise of this year.

More Arrivals for Joint Warrior

Four more arrivals this morning for the Joint Warrior naval exercise.

It was very cold, very wet, and really quite miserable as we waited for these to pass us at Custom House Quay in Greenock.

They were later than expected, but headed to Glasgow for berthing until their departures on Sunday.

Meeting up with old friends from around the country did bring cheer despite to awful weather.
