I'm picturing some "inter-stellar star cruiser",,, can you see it Master Obi Wan???
Just so everyone knows, when the sun comes out in Britain we don't waste time, EVERYBODY here strips down, puts on the sun tan lotion and grabs some rays! It might only last a few hours, and it might be the middle of winter, but damn it we won't miss a second! That goes for outdoor activities like boating too! "Mad Dogs and Englishmen go out in the Midday Sun", we also go out in the midwinter sun!

yes, you are a hardy lot, I myself don't like being out and about in foul weather,, unless its snowing and near zero viz, then I like driving about the country side in my 4 wheel drive pick-up with my rifle,,, thinking I might off an occasional coyote, but in truth, I never have, and just like riding around in the snow hoping to see some wild-life..
I usually reserve my flying for nice days, bicycling too!
anyway, there is a nice two masted sailing ship in the background?? who might that be??
The one with the black hull? It's actually three-masted if you look closely. That's the 9,500 ton HMS Warrior (1860), moored as a museum ship near the entrance to Portsmouth Naval Base, as part of the RN Museum (highly recommended!) also located nearby.
beautiful!
Now she's at sea Big Liz is gearing up for intensive trials: In the Channel off the South West Coast she has started embarking her helicopters for the upcoming trials. The two RAF Chinooks were already on board and now the Merlins join them, HM2s, HC3s and HC4s:
