Greenock Harbours and Docks

Caught a few pics in Greenock this afternoon.

I suspect the 'Haven Hawk' as a new acquisition and will be used as a pilot cutter - perhaps to replace the ageing 'Cloch'.

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.
