Paul Heasman's timelapse sequence on Flickr

shows two ships standing off Valley for at least 6 hours yesterday, presumably in support of the Ex CHAMELEON PJEs. In the absence of an AIS feed from the west coast of Anglesey, can anybody identify them? (last time, it was RFA MOUNTS BAY with SD VICTORIA)

Spent most of the day at Valley today and both ships are still about (not clued up on ships) both Lynx's flew as well today.

I can only see SD Victoria on AIS, no other ship.

Mirage, Andy - many thanks for your observations.
SD VICTORIA is now showing on one of the AIS sites, but the other one remains anonymous. She appears to be of similar size.

Many thanks NW1. Looking again at the video, I see now she is standing much further off!
