Hello Michael
Just checked with locals.
She's moved around a bit over the last few years, gradually deteriorating, and rumoured to be demolished soon.
Currently moored off Turks Shipyard Ltd, in Chatham Historical Dockyard - here: https://www.google.com/maps/place/51%C2%B023'52.1%22N+0%C2%B031'44.0%22E/@51.3978056,0.5267002,647m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xc1f0cd8e01b3fb70!8m2!3d51.3978!4d0.5289

Great picture thank you

I have just received message from Turks yard Chatham that she is being scrapped in January and being taken to Sheerness for the final trip.
