Could be HMS Liverpool - a few ships are up that way about to embark on an eight week artic circle exercise in "lusty".

Lusty left the Tyne last week.

This one has no markings though. Strange.

Any navy chaps here ?

There is a destroyer on the Tyne that looks like a Type 45 but it is lighter grey than usual navy ships and has no markings.

Any clues ?

NLNS Holland.

Ohhh that's a sexy ship

EdGey · 9 Mar 2012 at 19:18

Looks nothing like a 45!

Sure is good looking though.

Tribute i just put together, bit long but its mostly decent footage.

Let me know what you think.

That info about the NZ transfer is interesting.

Work blocks the link :/

So anyone got any idea what the pay scales are like in the NZ army? Doesn't give much away on the site?

EdGey · 10 Mar 2012 at 07:35

Haha that jav at the end

The Aussie air force offers the same thing.

I know, but the Aussie Air Force aren't actively taking on like the RNZAF are right now.

Not at the moment. It opens and closes all the time.
