Flag signal flown by HMS BELFAST - Which reads - THANK YOU NHS

Comment from Tim:
"Well done to the NHS I believe? I heard they were going to do it, I wish they would hurry up and decide on opening the Camera link, if you look hard at this photo you can see the starboard main yard on the foremast, the camera is mounted just above that on the nav radar platform, you can just make it out at the top of the picture, looks like a little ball on the end of a banana! Great view tho."

the crowsnest camera also works at night from which there are some amazing views of London; the view of HMS President might confuse some, this the the London @Office@ and is the building with the 3 whit squares, I included this as sometimes there are smaller RN ships alongside. Depending on the state of the tide, the rise and fall is more than 20 feet, you get rather different aspects of the view.

I have now discovered how to capture shots from the camera so here is one from just now showing the NHS signal which is hoisted every Thursday, (I guess done now to be ready for tomorrow) a miserable day in London but much needed rain.
