Matt Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I popped down and photoed BA at Grays when she was going up the Thames and then again at purfleet. Unfortunately tomorrow I am not around to do likewise but hope the trips goes as planned! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonRascal Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I've just received this photo of the crew of MTB102 - old sea dogs if ever I saw any... They got on board at about 22:30hrs and signal permitting will update tomorrow during their passage. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendel Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 had a look on marine traffic, and got their track leaving Lowestoft, they departed about 6.40 this morning and have gone out of range of their local tracking station, but last seen on a heading of 154 deg at 11.3 knots 56 minutes ago (Obviously travelling in stealth mode).

LondonRascal Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Latest I had from Griff as above from Grendel - They have a gentle 5m swell and have unblocked the heads (handy) the only thing is their AIS is not giving data as to where they are on Marine Traffic so can't track them in real time.

grendel Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 ah the lovely jobs that the crew get given. Robin, I had AIS until they were about a mile off Lowestoft this morning, but now they have vanished (stealth mode). Grendel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sos247 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 They are some photos on FB I will attempt to link on here.....If thats okay with the NBN? The MTB102 is a FANTASTIC vessel and my next trip will be returning to Dunkirk with her next May 2015......... Its my life time ambition to visit Dunkirk and arriving on the MTB102 will a fantastic bonus but will no doubt be very emotional. Just make sure you look after her Griff and stay away from those engines, we all know you like to fiddle! Its good to see the NBN flag on show, its actually seen on a regular basis now.
