Wondered what the mystery vessel that had been around way out in the shipping lanes - listing itself on the AIS only as 145 - I took these photos of it through the scope when it was around 15 miles out from us. It turns out it's the helicopter carrier HMS Illustrious and it's still zig zagging about. Judging by the upward curve of the deck on it's bow, I think it used to carry Harriers - but of course we don't have any of those any more !
Quite a fine evening once the rain clouds had moved on
