On my way back from Shildon I stopped off at Hartlepool (my first visit in a goodly number of years) to photograph the lifeboats and was pleasantly surprised to find two MPI tenders berthed in the Marina.
Both recently arrived from Vietnam. Marinetrafic was showing them with the yard numbers and under the Vietnam flag.
I thought the names were odd - MPI SNOWBALL & MPI NAPOLEON - but it was only when I was looking at the images last night that I had a 'DOH' moment, my 1966 English Literature GCE (failed miserably) ANIMAL FARM !
