    Hey, anyone know how I would get in contact with Trigger on the Aisling? Met him on the lash in Kiel and he was suppossed to meet for a Beer Call on FGS Bayern but the Aisling guys didn't make it, we were told they were in their racks!

          No, we sailed from Kiel two days ago and the lads on Aisling said they had another few days left, not sure if she was moving to other ports or heading straight back.

                Usually radar or radio equipment so not so good for the health to be too near

                  no one up on deck it must be a prearranged shot as we always have someone up on deck usually the cook escaping the heat of the galley

                    Spot on! That's exactly the reason. In this case it marks the area around the MF/HF TX antenna, where personell should not enter while tramsmitting.

                        Here is CM12 in Kiel from around 1979, I think. Someone might know the exact date. Nice to see the flag being flown amongst the big boys.

                            Well at least the sweepers had a desent flag pole to fly the flag back then , unlike the present situation of a metal pipe .Surely something better could be produced for a ship of State to fly the flag .

                                More pics from LÉ Ciara in Zeebrugge, thanks to Willem from www.dutchfleet.net.

                                The hi-res pictures (and several other pictures from the ship) can be found at Willem's photo-site (in the album named "Belgian Navy Days Zeebrugge, page 4 and 5).
