Wow! Great footage, its great to see her from above, to see all the details one never gets to normally see's, i see her from work every morning when i look across the River, and keep saying to myself, i must see down and start building a model of her, which i have wanted to do for the last six or seven years now, she is just one fine looking ship! its such a shame she will more than likly end up in Turkey getting scrapped, so more taxpayers money down the drain!
A good video thank you. She really ought to be being made ready to accompany the CSG 25 deployment. Sadly the RFA currently lacks sufficient man power to crew her & you have to wonder if she will ever sail again in support of the RN?
Was intended to be fitted with a vertical launched Seawolf system, cancelled at a very late stage, you can see the silo magazine midships in the overhead views.
Great footage!
Thank you!

@@tonystevens9278 I don’t think she’s been in action since 2023, so it might be the end for her! Thanks for watching 👍🏻
What dock is she in. I think I saw her in Bidston docks. Thanks.
I want to say Seaforth judging by the cranes. Where they hid one of the Wave Class tankers for a few years
