Hopefully some better photos in due course Ivor, suspect many underestimate what has, is being and will be achieved.
Can remember when some said even one would never leave harbour let alone two after doubting they would be built.
Seeing is believing!

Tweet from P.o.W - A moment that has been a long time coming! Ship Camera with flash Pretty sure that these photos confirm that we are bigger than HMSQNLZ too. Winking face.
What do you think?
[There have been unconfirmed rumours for some time that POW is slightly larger than QE due build modifications.]
