I rarely blow someone else's trumpet, since I own my own.

Thanks Mary, It was taken from one of the escorting Police boats, not a bad result for what turned into a 12 hour shift!

Very nice photo. That's the kind of composition that would make a very nice lithograph print.

An excellent picture, Phot. The bomber is in just the right place.

I say a prayer for all on board.

By the way, what is the role of the motorboat which is alongside the big one?

Oh drummer, get serious. I really want to know.

And it wouldn't be a parking ticket, it would be a docking ticket.

The small boat is the Queens Harbour Master launch, which always escorts ships out of the harbour.

For causing an obstruction though, it was sixty quid and three points.
