Yes J.W. - some cranes are still there - a 10ton on the wall of the Medway + two on No 2 dock - & one on No 4 Dock - The 1950 were the days when Destroyers were converted into £500,000 frigates. -I was an Instructor of Cranes Drivers then - as well as doing the work on the Frigates. 
More stories - later on.

Hi all,


Sorry just seen this, been a bit busy lately  ;D .
I can't explain this one, the server takes its time from an atomic clock somewhere out there. My session is showing the right time right now.

Well I noticed that the forum clock said  "November 17, 2022, 07:59:34 PM" when the PC (which gets its time ultimately from atomic clocks via the internet) said 19:59:34 17/11/2022.  Can't see any problem with that.


Mines correct now - methinks someone has altered it  ;D ;D ;D

Didn't have a clue where to start with that one.
 Swinging way off subject, is it just me or has everyone else noticed the Forum Clock has always been 12 hours out and been too polite to comment. :-[ :)


It's one hour fast on my PC :D

Thank you Shoot999.  I had a look on GSV and it looks like some of the cranes still exist.  The last time I visited the docks would have been in the 1950s.  A coach trip with my parents to Navy Day.  I was in awe of the battleships etc.


Nest one up soon.
