BRITISH VALOUR in Wallsend's "big dock".

British Valour laid-up in the Kyles of Bute on the Clyde on 21 May 1972.

50 YEARS AGO TODAY!
On our first holiday with my girlfriend Anne (later, and still, my wife), staying with realtives in Paisley.
Our holiday had to include a trip "doon the watter" which, as it happened, was on board the WAVERLEY, at that stage still operated by Caledonian SP Co Ltd.

We saw two laid-up BP tankers of NEM interest (see also BRITISH GLORY)
This was the second. River Clyde - 5 July 1972:
Quite possibly still in the same location as seen by Dennis a few weeks earlier.
