Meh, it's Portsmouth. The women will be waiting with open legs.

[Simpo Two]

Somehow the idea of HMS Gordon Brown visiting New York doesn't seem so exciting...

[PanzerCommander]

Ahh excellent, I'm off to the tank Museum next Friday (drive down on the Thursday) might have to make a detour to have a look at this.

[DMN]

They normally sit off Pompey in the Solent, so can be seen from plenty of places.

[rhinochopig]

Wonder if they'll order Hurst Point lighthouse to change course...

I know, I know

Fantastic, I'm on shift Sunday night (ambulance tech). Just what Pompey needs,5000 US Navy sailors trying to keep up with their RN compatriots.
How many drunken yanks will I meet? (Place your bets below - closet wins a vomit bowel full of regurgitated Budweiser)

Have fun Chicken - I was in town on a couple of occasions way back and you'll certainly be busy.

I remember visiting Portsmouth to see various visiting carriers - blagged our way on board a few times too - just checking back we did quite well.

1978 - USS Nimitz On Board
1981 - USS Eisenhower
1982 - USS America On Board
1984 - USS Independence On Board
1987 - USS Forrestal On Board

Saw some at night when they were all lit up - made a fantastic sight.

Did you upset the Captain of the Eisenhower?

Security was very tight on that one - can't remember what was going on at the time.

[Lost soul]

There is rumour of ship assets working from yeovilton on this Sunday and next Saturday or between those dates. The rumour is unclear.

Sorry, that info is only a page back on this very forum. http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

Been sent to stock up on Twinkies and beer I expect!

When they are visiting other territories do they conduct aircraft operations? Can imagine government/NATS etc getting a bit sniffy

[williamp]

great to have them here. If you fancy a real laugh, read the comments from the local paper here:
