Good find, Patrick, no SD prefix, is she still with Serco-Denholm?

Patrick has given us this current image of the ex tenders Menai together with Cricklade in its own dedicated thread.

Here is an update for Meon which sailed to far sunnier climes slightly further afield being sold out of service in 2018 then acquired by her new owner to then refit during 2020 in France. On completion she sailed to the Pacific in October 2021 arriving in Tahiti April 2022.

Lots of images here and appears to retain her original name Meon.

Now we need details of a third S D tender, Melton, which has spent much time in the Kyles over the years.
Thats all folks. Sean.
