    HMS NORFOLK F230 in DRYDOCK for MAINTENANCE an A REFIT

    HI ALL well its been nr a year since she lastly sailed an i cant get on with TIGER due to waiting for parts to come.So i thought i had better use my time on getting NORFOLK ready to sail again as when she last sailed some lights had failed an one of my boaty m8 said why dont you fit a servo morph on her hangar door as it was workin to fast. As well as she was covered in dust so the first job was clean her up with a dry paint brush an hover to suck up the dust an in the first pics she is all stripped down with her S/S all laid aside Click image for larger version

                        Man alive that looks complicated!!!! Looks like the insides of a nuke that James Bond has to diffuse With only seconds to spare!
                        Very, very impressive.
                        Cheers
