Fresh from her final visit to Liverpool in February and deck landing practice in the Irish Sea with Chinooks and Sea King helicopters, the nation’s on-call helicopter carrier, HMS Illustrious, is seen here taking on provisions at the Glen Douglas Armament depot at Loch Long in Scotland.
‘Lusty’ is due to retire from
active service in 2014 but before her retirement she has a very busy schedule
planned with various foreign and British port visit and a major naval exercise next
month she is far from taking her final months easy.
HMS Illustrious is seen here
alongside at the Armaments depot on the 2nd March before heading back out to sea.
