  1. Yes indeed. A very public spot to do it all too...any purveyors of cheap binoculars setting up on the IoW? Rentascope...a new business opportunity.:rolleyes: Could have the first drone collisions as they vie for pictures unless the Soton patrol boats mount light AA:D

  2. I would imagine Red Funnels foot passenger numbers have shot up. People just doing a round trip to have a nose !!

  9. These ships are huge, ive driven my lorry onto one of those autoliners to deliver stuff and its mahoooosive in their. Delivered to the cruise ships at the port too, literally parked next to them on the dock side and the truck is like a dwarf ant in comparison.
     
  10. thought i heard on news tonight they are going to try n re float :eek: it tomorrow :confused:
     
  11. I think its a panic attempt as the weather is going to go very downhill in the next few days
