Sea Lion in Dorset

Post by SW Sky Blue » Tue Jul 08, 2025 10:09 pm

Monday saw the arrival at Portland of this German Navy Sea Lion, 89+57 NH-90NTH from MFG5. It arrived as German Navy 4310, from Nordholz, via a fuel stop in Koksijde. I think I'm correct in saying this is a first visit of the type to the UK, however I'm happy to be corrected.

Anyway, here's a few pics of this nice looking machine.
