@nfgfbpa @OnthisdayRN I'm not living there - I was lucky enough to visit in 2016. I have friends who live there.

@wabbey Love that view of the Abbey!

[Cdr Winter of the Antarctic @TimWinRN]

Just thought I'd share this daily sighting, apropos of nothing.

[Cdr Winter of the Antarctic @TimWinRN]

@nfgfbpa @OnthisdayRN You are of course perfectly entitled to hold your view on the politics. I'm glad we can agree to honour the lost on both sides. Peace be with you.

[Cdr Winter of the Antarctic @TimWinRN]

@nfgfbpa @OnthisdayRN That is absolutely not true. I paid my respects at both the Argentinian and British cemeteries on the Island, as did my friend who had fought and lost friends in 1982.
May they all rest in peace.

@Tigga594 RIP

[Cdr Winter of the Antarctic @TimWinRN]

@nfgfbpa @OnthisdayRN Please show some respect for the war dead, which is what these posts were about.

[Cdr Winter of the Antarctic @TimWinRN]

@BigBearF1 Same to you!

[Cdr Winter of the Antarctic @TimWinRN]

@Saint1Mil I'm sure they will if they can, with a bit more notice than this year.

@gosporttomarlow Trouble is they can't read English, so they never do stay in their cars!🙄

@MozPerkins Good old Jack!

@OnthisdayRN @Hantsprints I remember seeing her out on the last of her sea trials in October 1985.

[Cdr Winter of the Antarctic @TimWinRN]

@JAMOGRAD @OnthisdayRN However, HMS ILLUSTRIOUS was commissioned at sea, during post build trials, to rush her down south and subsequently relieve HMS INVINCIBLE.

@Noble67Allan @Bruce437t @SchoolboyOwn My worst was in FEARLESS, at the start of the Thursday War (thankfully just after we'd past south of Portland Bill).

@matelotjonah @AWenham1 @NavyLookout @WarshipCam @WarshipsIFR @seawaves_mag @UKDefJournal @UKForcesTracker You had a Bandie embarked - how cool is that?!😜

[Cdr Winter of the Antarctic @TimWinRN]

@Saint1Mil 6 hour training flight on a Saturday? That's harsh, even for US forces!

[Cdr Winter of the Antarctic @TimWinRN]

@matelotjonah @NavyLookout @FennellJW @RFALymeBay @GGYSSELSSHIPS @hms_kent Port visit in FEARLESS, drunken sailors in the habit of returning to the biggest ship in Port were appalled to find frogs on the gangway as they staggered up the gangway of FS ORAGE!

[Cdr Winter of the Antarctic @TimWinRN]

@matelotjonah @RoyalNavy @HMSMiddleton Perhaps the Admiralty were nervous about jinxing the programme!
