Well the HMS Ocean has arrived in London/Greenwich. Not too far for me to go and see it. Does anyone know the best location to view her from?

He wasn’t amused, I wish I hadn’t bothered 🙁
GA pilots find it hard to see anything amusing in the Olympics Exclusion zone stupidity.

My niece has just got back from a holiday in London and got some pretty good views of Ocean and her Lynxes from the tower to Greenwich boat trip.

ppp stop knocking the Royal Navy then. Its bloody hard enough for them anyway with perfectly good ships on the trotts awaiting scrapping or sinkex thanks to dave and his band of imbaciles!
I am not a 6’4″ hardman but a 67 year old 6’0″ ex Para who does not like any of our armed services run down or not given the tools for the job.
Forget the Glasgow kiss thats a bit ambitious now but a wack from my walking stick is another thing!:)

She is open to the public on Sunday.
“HMS Ocean will sail up the River Thames to berth at Greenwich on Friday evening (July 13) and will be open to visit by the public on Sunday (July 15) – a unique opportunity to tour the largest ship in the Royal Navy”.
I have a friend who flys regularly from an airfield just to the east of London.
Knowing about the temporary exclusion, I jokingly said they he ought to go and
drop flour bombs on HMS Ocean and see what response he got.
He wasn’t amused, I wish I hadn’t bothered 🙁

I took the Portsmouth harbour tour just a couple of weeks ago and loved it. Those type 45’s were much bigger in “the flesh” than I imagined. Especially interested to see one bearthed next to Illustrious.
I look forward to see the Ocen photo’s on here !

HMS Ocean is an amphibious assault ship (or landing platform helicopter)
