HMS Spey delivers vaccines and patrols for illegal fishing in Pitcairn Islands

Royal Navy sailors delivered Covid vaccines to the descendants of the Bounty when patrol ship HMS Spey visited the tiny Pitcairn Islands in the Pacific.

The islands – which are in the middle of the South Pacific and home to only around 50 people – are one of Britain’s most isolated Overseas Territories, famous as the last resting place of HMS Bounty and its mutineers.

The ship also carried enough Covid jabs to offer a booster to every eligible person on the islands, most of whom are double vaccinated.
