CHALLENGER on the Tyne 27.05.95

Although sold in July 1993 she left Portsmouth 20 January 1994 in tow of Cragsider. I saw her first on the Tyne on 7 February 94 initially at Jarrow. She stayed on the Tyne until 31 May 1998 for conversion to diamond mining becoming the Tovio..
I suggest the photos are from 1995 when she was at Walker Naval Yard..
