your spot on,thats a sister ship of the one i was on.There was four of that class built a few years ago.I've sailed on two of them,Cardigan bay & Lyme bay,was talking to a few old ship mates that were on it when it was handed over.Alot of people get the rfa confused with the RN but its a different arm.the RFA is classed as merchant navy but i suppose it does alot of the stuff the RN does although there's no love lost between the two,i've some good pics i'll post later of shipwreck's,victims of the Iran Iraq war.

ILB Grannuaille and NLV Pharos in Dun Laoghaire for the opening of the new CIL headquarters building. The Patricia had to stay alongside for the event as it was too windy for her to get off the quay wall


Sunrise at the K4B platform in the north sea.

Oh for a life on the rolling seas

Its not the smoke detector. It the air-con unit that had a nasty habit of spitting out pieces of fluff into you cabin so it was covered up on the orders of the C/E.

Apologies, I saw the smokes on the desk and jumped to the obvious conclusion
