This may be of interest to some, although it doesn't look like there are going to be any boats there:

It's a bugger for us though, as we can't get parked in the dockyard for about a week :O(

I wish it was possible for me to attend....even if just to see my favourite ship type (42).

They are a beautiful ship, a bit tired inside, but with the modern weapons systems they're still bloody potent.

I'm working on Daring in a couple of weeks and I can't wait to see the difference 35(ish) years can make.

You lucky basum!!

I once went aboard the original HMS Newcastle (D87) about 20 years ago and was in awe.....like a kid in a candy shop.

Yea why can't they sail the boats up north to Aberdeen? We get nothing fun like that here.

They could also use Tillydrone for target practice, no loss there, oh and the council.
