Fleet Review 2005
It’s the Fleet Review in the Solent this Tuesday so I decided to do my own review before the queen did hers. I travelled over on Monday on my motorbike so parking wasn’t a problem. As it happened there were plenty of parking spaces, tomorrow will be a different matter.
Most of the warships were in place with a few still arriving. There were loads of people around getting a preview of the fleet. The fleet is spread out in the Solent near to Stokes Bay, which is just around the corner from Portsmouth.
The air space was quite busy with lots of helicopters; I might have been on Sky News because their helicopter went by albeit along way away.
On the water security was high with lots of Marine Patrols, coastguard, harbour pilots etc. I don’t think I would have been allowed out in my rubber dinghy.
