Paul Heasman's timelapse sequence on Flickr
http://www.flickr.co...N08/9720440496/
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)

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!

Don't know what the Hercules was today, but he was flying in some seriously wet and windy weather!
