RFA Fort Rosalie in Birkenhead docks 5th Feb

The RFA Fort Rosalie was "on the move" today, not outbound as i had hoped but swung round and berthed further down the quayside in the West float Birkenhead docks. She is one of the last of the 1st batch of RFA`s to arrive for work at NSL/Cammel Lairds. She has been in the docks for a few weeks getting stocked up prior to a return to service. Weather was crap.............but it was snow for a change ;-)
