Almost 12 hrs after the arrival of HMS Bulwark, the last two ships of the day where due to arrive. I followed the Canadian HMCS Iroquois on the Fort Perch Rock's on-line radar. As she entered the Mersey I drove down to Egremont Ferry, an excellent vantage point between New Brighton and Seacombe Ferry. A large crowd had already gathered, many talking on mobile phones. I took a number of pictures, then as the Iroquois was being taken under tow, a great cheer went up, as over the breakwater another ship appeared.....this is what many had waited all day to see, with mixed emotions. HMS Edinburgh was home, the mobile phone calls were to crew members lining the deck. HMS Edinburgh is Britain's last remaining Type 42 Destroyer and she was built on the Mersey.When she leaves on Tuesday she will make a couple of stop offs on her way to Portsmouth were she will be de-comissioned and scrapped. As the Iroquois was berthed at the Cruise Liner Terminal at Liverpool Pier Head, HMS Edinburgh was towed into Cammell Lairds wet basin, were she was built and launched from in 1983. Local news is reporting visitors are having to travel 10 miles outside the city to find a place to stay.Strange people in igloo tents are camping by the docks that house ships that will be open to the public tomorrow....it's going to be bedlam. To this end, I went over today, Friday, there are a lot of people about, ' the wise ones', but not overly crowded.There's an RAF Typhoon demonstrator in front of the Liver Building, along with a Chinook.There are military vehicles in a compound, including the biggest tank transporter I've ever seen, all visible for photography. Had a stroll alongside the Iroquois, very impressive.The stripy commando helo from the other day, flew down the river 'very low', they were practicing a marine assault that will be on the river Sat,Sun and Monday. So my plan is, while everyone is in Liverpool tomorrow, I'll be in Cammell Lairds on the Edinburgh then down to Egremont for the Marine assault and FAA Fly Past. I've taken nearly 300 pictures in the last 2 days once those and the ones from the rest of the weekend are sorted I'll put them on Shutterstock, will let you know when that happens. The variance in these photos is due to it being 20:00hrs, overcast and by the time I headed home pouring down. I fiddled with colour balance, light and contrast to different degrees as all the images were an array of different shades of dark blue. Thankfully the sun was shining today so much better results........Hope this is of some interest.....
