Captain of ship needs a ride.

How did it go? Weather wasn't brilliant.

Hi Mark, well I got damp twice on the way down & it rained while stopped at the naval base car park
Parked as close to the ship as possible then Darren gave me a nice tour round the ship & a pleasant lunch while it was raining outside
Unfortunately where the ship was docked there was no vehicle access so no shots of the car with ship in the background ;(
It stopped raining just in time to take the departing captain for a drive & drop him off at his home, then I got quite wet on the way home
Well worth doing & everyone was very friendly, enjoyed the day immensely

Any pics Tony? What ship was it BTW?

[legend]

HMS Daring type 42 destroyer just undergoing re-fit
Got some photos of non restricted areas of the ship

Cool, (its a T45 not 42 though!) ..We supply some of our kit onto Daring. Being chauffeured away in a Big Block Crendon is indeed a very fitting send-off for a naval captain

Thanks for stepping in and helping out. Wish I was closer.
