H.m.s Prince Of Wales

A friend of mine has been invited to have dinner on HMS Prince of Wales whilst it’s docked in Liverpool

 

Anyone know how long it’s going to be moored there? Wouldn’t mind seeing it in the flesh so to speak.

 

She arrived yesterday, as I’m sure you know, and staying for 1 week.

 

A very lucky and I guess well connected person.....

 

Nice photos, we had them both come through the moray firth they took supplies from Lossiemouth, awesome I still think one should have been named the ARK ROYAL to carry on a well earned tradition

 

I wouldn’t say he’s lucky but we’ll connected, Yes

 

Thanks ET, I’ve been down there to have a gander this morning

 

Got to see both of them
HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Queen Elizabeth

 

[ Also had a private tour of HMS Lancaster

 

Great pictures, I am surprised they allowed you to take them though....

 

Sounds like you had a great time....

 

I went to the commissioning back in December
I’m also on board on Wednesday

 

I served, for 3 years, on HMS Invincible, which was t'last class of carriers we had. T'new ones are HUGE compared to t'owd uns. There's a photo knocking about where it shows one of t'owd uns in dry dock, alongside the PoW. The difference is really visual. I'd love to go onboard for a look round. The photo's int hangar bring back a lot of memories.

 

There was 3 of t'Invincible class, the other 2 being Illustrious and Ark Royal. The 3rd one was going to be called the Indomitable,but they changed t'name when t'public kicked up a fuss, when t'owd Ark Royal was scrapped. The TV show made it massively popular.
