Russian Frigates at Blyth Breakers 1990

BYVALY at Blyth breakers 29.04.90

Cannot remember how many actually turned up in Blyth but one had to go to the Tyne because there was no room for her and she eventually went to Spain or Belgium for demolition/breaking up.recycling. At the time it was reported somewhere that they were being scrapped as part of a greater deal to allow Pepsi or Coca Cola to get a presence in the Soviet Union. Buyers of this lot were a brokerage firm based in Crediton in Devon but they did not break them up.
