They are on an indeterminate sea, but I was told that they were taken in waters off Scilly, as they closed final trials. I have so many other pictures of our previous Mail Packets, in waters much further away. Even the launch of Queen of The Isles.
Did M lady get pictures of the event? Longships themselves, perchance? I have pictures of her on her merry jaunt in the channel, northwards, Irish sea and to the Pacific.
Unfortunately, no. Not a lot of photos taken when I was little, my parents went through a camera-less phase, that covered a great chunk of my childhood. sad#
My first camera was an 18th birthday present (110 Instamatic).
