HFF from Dockyards Portsmouth

Happy FF and enjoy your weekend.

HFF, Nick! Have a good weekend!

I always enjoy your Portsmouth shots Nick, and this is no exception.
HFF and wish you a good weekend.

Hi Rosa, by the same token I always enjoy your Dorset, Somerset and Wiltshire shots, not forgetting Hampshire too. Thanks for your kind words and good wishes ~~~ Hanwe

Eine Menge Stahl! HFF und ein schönes Wochenende! Bleib gesund!

es indeed, and now all forged into somethings new ~~~ Hanwe

A wonderful photo! This one has a more human size, the new "Queen Elizabeth" is quite monstrous;-) hFF and a good weekend, Nick!

Thanks ~ If you mean the cruise liner I totally agree, if you mean the aircraft carrier then it is not so big really, although it is quite a tight fit as she sails in and out of port. :) Hanwe and best wishes

At this angle the aircraft carrier seems to have a clock tower on its deck.
HFF dear Nick, and enjoy the Bank Holiday weekend.

Hi dearest LGM, no dockyard would work without a clock or two, how else would they know when it was time to call all out. Portsmouth used to be a mass of bicycles at 1600hrs :)

I wish you and Adrian a rewarding weekend ~~~

A real working Dock a place I did not get to, HFF all the very best for your weekend.

Hi Steve, well there is still time before the next lot of ordinance is set to arrive. Thanks for your good wishes. Enjoy your weekend too

Well spotted, Nick, HFF

Thank you ~ Hanwe

A nice new clock for the old girl! (I see that you are back in this group now.) Well done.

HFF, enjoy the weekend. Herb

Hi Herb ~ Who said that we are a nation of clockwatchers ??? Thanks for your good wishes ~ Hanwe

It looks huge when you see the person in comparison. HFF Nick.

Hi Christa ~ It is a large warship but today's large ferries, cruise liners and container ships are much larger. Hanwe

A wonderful picture by an interesting angle,dear Nick!

HFF and have a wonderful weekend!

Hi dear GGR ~ thanks for your kind words and good wishes. I wish you a good weekend too ~ Warm wishes ~ Nick

HFF Nick!

Thanks ~ Hanwe

Hi Nick
A wonderful and interesting picture, which I like very much!
Let us hope they have kept the plans, so they can build a few more very quickly when we need them.
Great colours too
Best Wishes, HFF, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!

Hi Peter ~ We have two brand new aircraft carriers these days, much larger and far better equipped, Hanwe

Yes Nick,

But do the new ones come equipped with grease on the propeller shaft.......!!!!!!

An excellent capture Nick and even better on full screen.
HFF and have a good weekend

Thank you Carole ~ Hanwe

A terrific capture Nick, I assume they were deemed unsuitable for modern warfare,
HFF and a good weekend

Thanks Roger, yes they were well past their sell by date ~ Hanwe

HFF, Nick!
Always sad when a ship gets scrapped, especially when it looks as though it would still be serviceable! :o(

Hi Andy

They were well past what is necessary these days, so scrapping was the only solution

HFF Pics from Pompey always get my vote!

Thanks that is nice to read :)

Belated HFF, wish you a fine new week
