Hi All

Just being doing some tidying up in one of my cupboards and came across a pack of negs , it was these

I thought I would share them with you seeing as the Truman is in our waters once again with some very nice diversions into Mildenhall , these were taken 21 years ago on her first visit to our shores , where has the time gone

They were all taken on board at Stokes Bay in the Solent with a nice visiting MH-53E from HC-4 doing supply flights

Anyway on with the pics , I hope you enjoy them

Cheers

Paul

Wow, what a selection of types at that time. I have never managed to get on board a live carrier (just the pair of museums stateside), very envious.

Thanks for sharing these with us, a great selection of shots and plenty of variety too.

Great selection of shots, Paul

That is some marshalling/spotting job on No. 3

Thanks for posting

Wowsa, super find

Really nice, thanks for sharing

Kev

Great stuff Paul - good to see from the time you were allowed to visit the carriers when they visited Portsmouth

Hope you are keeping well

Thank you everyone , seems these negs scanned much better that the slides I took on the day , glad I came across them

Thanks Darren , all well yourself ? Been on a few more since then

Cheers

The links seem to be broken. I flew onboard the Truman courtesy of the MH-53's that operated from Lyneham.
