Updated: Spanish destroyer Mendez Nunez in the Thames

Post by dyvroeth »

Bit short notice here...

F100 Class destroyer Mendez Nunez (F104) is heading upstream on the Thames (24 April, 1700 BST), fresh from finishing her part in Exercise Joint Warrior 15-1.

Not sure where's she's being berthed yet - not in Port of London published movements and unlikely to be beside HMS Belfast (not in Tower Bridge lift schedule). Not sure if there's an embarked flight, either.

More when I know.
