Hi,

After a break in the weather it was a good trip out on the Gosport Ferry to view the USS Gerald R Ford whilst she is anchored in Stokes Bay for a few days.

Thanks for looking.

Nicely done Sir, some fine shots there in kindly weather for you. Many thanks for sharing them with those who couldn’t make the trip.

Thanks for sharing these, nice selection of shots. Unfortunately not able to get down to see it myself.

Thanks for sharing these very good photos.

Excellent set there, Mike

Thanks for posting

Absolutely fabulous; thanks for sharing your superb pics

Thanks everyone for the comments.

Cracking images, thanks for sharing.

A nice set of picture's for a new ship there's a lot of rust or is that normal?

A nice set of pictures. Would the Hornet on the extreme left of the second pic, and featured on its own in the fifth-last pic, be an early model used for aircraft handling training?

Interesting set

Nice photos

It is indeed a training frame, Bu:163129.
