How Sad

That's a shame. Are there no other available period ASW craft?

That is sad. The more museum ships we can have the better.

Last I saw Decouvert a River FF sat on a beach in France awaiting
disposal after twenty years as a fire ship.

theres a Riverff on Dryland In thailand I think as a drill ship.

there may be a few more but not many of the size and certainly
no other Black Swans and further to that the only surviving member
of Walkers Group.

A shame that it has fallen through, a ship with a proud history and a reputation to match.

I wonder how much those fine fellows in the land of sand were trying to squeeze for something that is of no obvious use to them anymore. :hmm:

Very Sad.
But typical Government greed.

I would bet a dollar that it was the same price as a fully equipped
Halifax brand new out of the box. However I do not know I was never
privy to such details.
