Many thanks to the Liverpool Echo for running an article both online and in print using my images..

Quick dock trip to catch up with Brony`s condition, settled more but not rolled over, still no signs of any attempt to put her right?! but hey at least the anti-pollution booms are in place so the powers that be can sit back and say they done their part!!

HMS Bronington as of 19th March 2016

Paid another visit to docks today to check on "Brony" and was suprised she is still upright as i expected her to have gone over completley!! anti-pollution fenders are now in place around her and the basin were she is moored.

HMS Bronington M1115 sunk!!

At some point in the last 24hrs HMS Bronington has sunk (or was sank??), upright on tuesday but now about to roll over! Very sad to witness, i did see at least one hatch open that was definitley closed last time i was there so read into that what you will.

The last of the "tons" is no more :-(

HMS Bronington M1115 update

I took a few pics of "brony" while down West float for RFA. She is now listing quite heavily and i think its only the quayside chains that are keeping her upright. Very sad to witness

Personally  i think its now best just to scrap her.
