Held for eight weeks: ex-marines accused of spying by Eritrea

Only saw this story today - can't find it on another thread. Doesn't sound good.

Wonder if they WERE just working as security guards, or were from Poole?

Sounds like security guards. PVI have been given nicknames more associated with submarines. Apparently the size of their ships means they spend more time being covered in water than sailing on it!
