She went at 15.18

The Waverley was there... she was hiding in the dock at the side and popped out all of a sudden. They then tied her up on the opposite bank outside the Glasgow Harbour Development where she made some noise

Hi folk, today three glescapals, Brian Jeep, myself and my BIL went to see the launch of HMS Defender at Govan shipyard a type 45 destroyers
This is the penultimate ship to be launched
A much better day than last years launch.
remember I showed you some of the cadets that were taken ill during the proceedings, well im  sure that one of the boys was taken ill again today, sure looked like him .
The bow section for the last ship
