TUXEDO ROYALE on her way to the breakers at Able UK at Seaton 10.09.19

Amazing photos, Michael! Who would have thought that she would ever float again. Wonder who are the people on what's left of her bridge.

In happier times on Dave's site

Sealink Paint was obviously of Good Quality.

I thought that was very odd, the hull is in BR/Sealink blue yet Dave's site shows her having changed to black before she was overpainted white ... so now the white has peeled off (must have been a cheap emulsion!) and we are back to blue, not 'back to black' as Amy Whitehouse sang. So what happened to the black?

Rolling Stones obviously did not paint it black

or maybe ...
Black, black, the nights are now
Longing for you so lost and alone
Gone, gone, the love we knew
Blue is my world since I'm without you
