TBH it's doing a merry dalliance around Hound Point oil terminal, it must be getting lined up with the tugs or something like that.

If it is, this one is taking a while to die... That guy is now arguing with the QE account that all the steel used came from Belgium not the UK

Belgium? :shock: No....

In 2008, Corus recieved an order for 80,000 tons of steel for the use in construction of the QEC ships.

1999: Corus is a merger of British Steel (UK) and Koninklijke Hoogovens (Netherlands).
2007: Corus was bought by Tata (India).
2008: The 80,000 ton QEC steel order was placed.
2010: Corus's name was changed to Tata Steel Europe.

So the steel is technically Indian. Although, Tata Steel Europe is headquartered in London. Which makes it British. :?: :shock: :? :lol:

Anybody else getting deja vue with having Cockneyjock back on the case capturing the blocks as they arrive from across the water ?

Great photos again CJ makes the build feel right :D

Nice to see LB04 arrive, be interesting to see how long it takes from arrival to being floated off and then joined to the front half of PW, with the revised build and assembly schedule i get the feeling we may see the 2nd carrier virtually structurally complete when QE starts her sea trials

The follow-up conversation was just as stupid. Why was that guy trying to troll the @HMSQNLZ account. Chump.

I would imagine the whole east coast of the UK will get to see the QE before she arrives in Portsmouth, that is if QE is near enough to land for photos.
