Tower Bridge Lift Thurs 15th

[Phil English]

Tower Bridge is due to lift tomorrow at 13.40 (upriver) and 14.10 (downriver) for a "vessel". The Tower Bridge website (and the PLA), have a policy of not naming naval ships, so I assume it is indeed miltary, but does anyone know exactly what it is?

Well it turned out to be the Sea Cadets' "T.S. Jack Petchey" :-( I did have my camera just in case it was something interesting.

Thanks Phil, I wondered what she was. Prehaps she was shown as "vessel" because the "TS" was mistaken for "Top Secret"  :-D

Aha! I didn't think of that Bob. I can't think of any other reason for such secrecy in this case  :lol:

As like with other forces cadet forces, they are still classed as military and are treated as such.

Army Cadets = come under the Army classifacation
Air Cadets = come under RAF classifaction
Sea Cadets = come under Navy classifacation
