Soundtrack seemed to be originating from the cruise terminal - not the ship 1 careful owner, yours for £3.1bn! https://youtu.be/12H29pjWM9g - This same video with digital stabilisation on https://youtu.be/Ag6g3HaFSPs - My walk alongside the ship https://youtu.be/MAqCfM27Qqc - Stephen Davies legal world exclusive drone video https://youtu.be/QL0Qo8fYmks - James O'Hanlon video of the ship arriving in Liverpool Location of ship: https://plus.codes/9C5RCX5X+3MP For this class of UK aircraft carrier, this was the very first time the public have been invited onboard. For the 2 days it will be open for public viewing, about 13,000 free tickets were issued - all of them were claimed within 1 hour of the ticket office opening! Public were invited into the forward hanger deck and were able to wonder around the various displays, and equipment. All of the rest of the ship was locked-off to the public. Even so, it was very interesting. A variety of service personnel were represented - lots of different uniforms, including different actively armed personnel! Every member of staff who attended this event made themselves available for chatting with the public and answering technical, personal, and stupid questions! Look out for the unfortunate member of staff who had the role of being the sparring-partner for the children to hit him with sticks!!! [All video, sound was recorded "as-is" at this live event - some display stands had background music playing.] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vessel Information: Name: HMSQNLZ Pennant number: R09 IMO: 4907907 MMSI: 234564000 Vessel Type - Generic: Military Ops Vessel Type - Detailed: Military Ops Status: Active Call Sign: QNLZHT Flag: United Kingdom [GB] Ordered: 20 May 2008 Christened: 8 September 2017 Commissioned: 10 December 2019 Displacement: DWT 65,000 tonnes (64,000 long tons; 72,000 short tons) Length: 284 m (932 ft) Beam: 39 m (128 ft)(waterline) 73 m (240 ft) overall Draught: 11 metres Decks: 16,000 square metres Speed: 25 knots (46 km/h) Range: 10,000 nautical miles (19,000 km) Capacity: 1,600 Troops: 250 Complement: 679 Home Port: HMNB Portsmouth Twinned Cities: Liverpool and & Bath, UK Colour: Battleship Grey! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Further links: https://www.twitter.com/HMSPWLS https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Prince_of_Wales_(R09) https://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/princeofwales https://www.forces.net/news/public-visit-hms-prince-wales-liverpool https://www.aircraftcarrieralliance.co.uk/hms-prince-of-wales ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12H29pjWM9g

Flown with the kind permission and acceptance of the magnificent volunteers of the RNLI - in this instance, from New Brighton. https://rnli.org/find-my-nearest/lifeboat-stations/new-brighton-lifeboat-station A tractor training exercise on the New Brighton beach beside Fort Perch. Using an Talus M3 submersible tractor and trailer - specifically designed for the RNLI. New Brighton Lifeboat Station was the first in the world to use have the M3 tractor in active use. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talus_MB-4H_amphibious_tractor Not sure where the lifeboat actually was, couldn't stay very long to find out. Was a VERY windy beach - notice the flutter in the RNLI flags on the lifeguard hut. [Re-uploaded due to YouTube stating that the previous version had copyrighted music as it's soundtrack.
