HMS Prince of Wales To Make Inaugural Visit To Liverpool

[labrat]

AH FFS, come the weekend, it'll be up on bricks, having had it's wheels and propeller nicked

you’re not kidding - last time I went there some ****** had nicked the Herculaneum dock!

Prep on the waterfront is nearly done. Am sat about 50m from it all. PoW expected 1300 for a 180deg spin in the Mersey so she's facing out to sea at the ferry terminal dock. Thats got to be a sight to see.

We've got the crabs here too with a mock up heli & a tiffie for the kids to mess about on. Some proper military blokes too, looks like some drop shorts with some tracked thing. Its lashing it down & i suspect not many will rock up if the weather keeps being shit. Poor feckers dicked onto this duty today will be well pissed off.

She's approaching the Mersey now, well on time to start down the river at 1230.

I might try and avoid the rush and wait until Monday to see her, when the Liverpudlians are at work

HMS Prince of Wales passes Crosby Beach in Merseyside: the figure in the centre of the photo is one of the 100 cast iron figures scattered along the shoreline at Crosby and which together form Sir Antony Gormley's sculpture, Another Place. The figures are based on Gormley's own naked body. He has said that the installation is his response to the individual and universal sentiments of emigration -the sadness at leaving but the abundance of hope for a new future in 'Another Place'.

Visit has created a lot of interest......all tickets went in 10 minutes I was told.I am hoping to get across to Birkenhead to take a few pics of POW spinning in River,should look tremendous in front of Liverpool Waterfront. eg.View attachment 451509

I think that’s the only time I’ve ever heard of someone “hoping to go to Birkenhead”

More seriously, very pleased to see HMS Prince of Wales in the Mersey.

I wish they had chosen some one who speaks a little slower and more clearly, it is after all the Senior Service

A bit of waffle there.
