The sixth type 45, Duncan, at North Shields this morning.

Three Quarter page piece in this mornings Journal and they got nearly all the information right.

"At 152m long by 21.2m wide and weighing around 8,000 tonnes"
Actual Displacement is 5,893 Standard. 7,570 Full load.

The bit that worried me was from the Captain who said "I am immensely proud to bring HMS Duncan to Newcastle"
and he's a local lad from Whitley Bay...........

Sailing this morning.

From the North side.

and here she is arriving for that visit, using all of her stealth capabilities - grey on grey.

Well she is visiting the North East and she is sticking her tongue out.

Its the BIG golf ball with the pins on that goes round I cannot get away with!

Is that one of the golf balls that used to sit on Fylingdales Moor?
Always wondered where they had gone.

Could be their offspring.......Strange things happen on Moors.....

and outbound from Northumbrian Quay for sea 08/02/2015.
