Farewell HMS Bristol
Yesterday Portsmouth said it's farewell to HMS Bristol which departed for the scrapmans torch in Turkey.

The veteran destroyer was commissioned into the Royal Navy over 50 years ago and had the distinction of being the last warship from the Falklands Conflict still in UK waters.

A sad day for many who served on the ship including our own team member Dave, who manages the booking office at the dockyard. Dave actually served on the Bristol during the 1982 conflict and was present on the Round Tower yesterday to see his ship off. You couldn't miss him, he was wearing his Solent Cruises jacket as was due to work that day. Dave commented that he would have to wait until later to toast his former home with a tot of Pussers (rum).

End of an era....
The final Royal Navy warship from the 1982 Falklands conflict is due to depart from Portsmouth next week for the Scrapyard in Turkey.

The sole Type 82 destroyer provided area protection for the aircraft carriers HMS Hermes and Invincible during the South Atlantic campaign.

The 53 year old destroyer has been a familiar sight at Portsmouth for 33 of those years in use as a static training ship, however her time is finally up. There are however a few Falklands warships still serving in foreign navies although the likely hood of seeing one return to Portsmouth is remote...

Catch Bristol and much more on one of our Portsmouth Harbour tours.

Portsmouth Harbour tours depart daily, on the hour from Gunwharf Quay.

A great job yesterday - Solent Cruise's Wight Scene and Solent Cat were chartered to ferry passengers from the German, AIDA cruise ship AIDA Sol at the Portsmouth Cruise Terminal around to Gunwharf Quay to enjoy the delights on offer.

The constant merry go round delivered several thousand German tourists who enjoyed the retail outlets, restaurants and notably the Spinnaker Tower. The weather was in great form, making this a perfect day for our guests.
