Seems it may be a busy day in the Harbour tomorrow, HMS Ocean on her way in early doors and HMS QE out lunchtime, 12:40ish.

Perhaps the only photo op we’ll have with QE and Ocean while the latter carries that name under RN service.. maybe they’ll cross paths again if QE ever visits Brazil

Good point, might pop down to the Gosport side before HMS QE departs to get a picture of them both under RN flags.

Rob Hinton of Serco Marine Services beat you to it...

08.45, for me to have got to the Gosport side by that time I would have left last night to travel the length of the wonderful A32 between Fareham and Gosport!

Well that's a surprise...what else will they load? AH-64?

[Timmymagic]

And from Tugmaster Rob's comments QE is out later...

12:40 is still the time, does anyone know of anymore live feeds?

Here's my lot from the Gosport side, I intended to wait for the 3 point turn manouevere but it seemed to take an age, it was blinking cold (at least for us soft Southerners CJ) and the pub beckoned!
