Yes Robert, bloody annoying for those who wanted to photograph them.  Begs the question whether the QHM actually knows what is going on in his own harbour.

Perhaps brought in early at short notice on account weather.

Hi Robert

Thanks for your information on the Chinese Navy Ships. Would you have any idea about their ETD please? As you said they were a day early I'm hoping that they will still be at Portsmouth on Thursday.

Kindest regards

Gordon

they are SUPPOSED to be going on 17th, but on the other hand they were SUPPOSED to come in today not yesterday.

Hi Gordon,

Friday the 16th is the latest I have heard, keep an eye on the QHM website, hopefully it will be correct this time.

Regards
