My old man was a Nav on the B 8 out of Larbruuch... lots of perspex nose time, including looking at tree tops at 400 kts with a 'LABS' manoeuvre that went wrong! They picked tree branches out of the U/C in the hanger.... :angel:Quote:

A BBC news article, looks like these Heritage 90's could be for AU, all right hand drive, you now know the ships name, so you can track it.
Hoegh Target docks in Southampton - BBC News
That's a nice looking cargo ship of I do say so myself
8500 vehicles thats a lot
Hoegh Target is just turning into the Mediterranean Sea, so probably those Heritage models are destined for the Middle East somewhere. Mine is on the Asian King as mentioned earlier, which seems to have stalled off the Coast of Mauritania. Hope it hasn't broken down or worse, but has been at the same location since 9th Sept.:(Quote:
