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 :-(

A little quiet in the docks at the moment!, Arklow Raven came in today and the Chem tanker Stolt Kite arrived earlier in the week.

Also here are the RFA`s Black Rover, Diligence and Fort Austin...

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.

HMS Bronnington in Birkenhead docks 8TH Oct

The ex warships display vessel HMS Bronnington has been moved from Vittoria dock to the West float, Birkenhead. I have no idea as to why the move took place but as you can see she is in a very sorry state. I think its only a matter of time before she is scrapped, which would be a real shame. During her career she had none other the Prince Charles as her skipper.
