Retweet if you think we would look good in the WWII 'Western Approaches' paint scheme!

- Suddenly the weather is good ... and the Royal Air Force turn up! Typical...
00:00 - You probably can't see us because of the camouflage, but we're just to the left of the red tug... You can tell by the apparent gap in the jetty! 😉
- What a privilege to meet a British supercarrier at sea and conduct ceremonial with her! @HMSQNLZ, you are an impressive sight! #BigDecksFastJets meets #SmallShipsBigImpact! #PipeTheStill #StarboardThirtyFive
00:00 - We don't get this many people watching us when we sail ... but then again, we're not a British #supercarrier departing on a world deployment! Fair winds, @HMSQNLZ!
- #ClapForCarers #ClapForNHS Ship's can't clap, but we can sound our sirens. SEVERN and @HMSTrent joined millions at 8pm to salute the #NHS.
00:00 - Now that our new paint scheme is going on, we're getting second thoughts. Should we have gone for this option after all?
- We found an empty tender adrift in the approaches to Portsmouth. Once we had established that no one was in danger, at the request of the costguard we recovered the boat. It will be returned to its ownerat the weekend. Turns out he's an @RoyalNavy submariner officer...
- Our final night in the dock. We're looking forward to seeing the camo from further away than 10 meters! Oh, and we need to paint in the squares where the breast shores have been holding the ship upright!
