Really interesting vlog, thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for a interesting vlog
Great vlog nice seeing u in my neck of the woods – I live in Gosport lol. Lovely seeing the sights which one takes for granted. Best wishes
Thank you for your service Michael. I served in US Army in the artillery from 1985-1989. Love your videos.
Love the vlog of Portsmouth my father in law was in Fleet Air arm on Hms Vengeance Air craft carrier from 1947 to 1950.
I showed this one to my wife; Portsmouth is her home town. She recognized every square foot you walked. Your going on the Victory & seeing the Warrior had her sniffling with homesickness. She spent her childhood in Portsmouth, Southsea, and Gosport. Thank you!
What a great episode this was, and wide ranging, covering everything from the great English summer through our naval heritage and then back to cruising, well done, fabulous !!!
Fantastic video of the Naval ships and submarine in Portsmouth . 👍
Very interesting, just a pity the guy telling you the range if the shell doesn't know his miles to km conversion. 10km isn't 7.5 miles but just over 6.2 miles. Wonder how long he's been telling folk that 🤔.
Been to the yard but due to restoration work couldn't get on the ships. The museum was good though. Bet you wish you had some of that warmth now that its turned chilly. See you on the next one.
I thoroughly enjoyed that tour.
Really nice video, respect to you for your service to our country, what was your post in the Navy?
❤ thank you for sharing your adventures and service, awesome videos!
