Lovely video, great sea fairing music too😊
Very nice Swifty, love the piano music 🎶 🎼 🎵, seems like I have a few videos of yours to catch up on 😊
Iechid dda.
Nice one Swifty 😀
Great footage Swifty..is that the sun playing tricks or is she a very pale grey?
Wayne yes she is very pale grey compared to the British warships that seem to use a darker grey and yes the sun made it stand out more but without the sun she would have still looked pale grey, I have footage from another cam that was just the same colour but far to much to use in the video but maybe one day I make one from that footage because we has 2 Royal Netherlands Navy ships in the same frame P 843 HNLMS Groningen was the other 😎thanks again for making a comment it's appreciated 👍
Such a magnificent and beautiful ship love the dragon picture on the ship thank you Swifty you are a true friend especially to capture this amazing and unique ship yes she maybe like her brothers and sisters in shape and form but this ship has the heart of the dragon and may the dragon keep everyone safe 🥹🥹🥹👍👍👍👏👏👏 but you still have to laugh/love the tugs it’s like one tug is pulling for dear life at the front and at the back it looks like a tug is either trying to catch up or just turn off his engine and enjoy the ride lol 👍👍😉😉😁😁Anyway great bit of camera work Swifty glad to see you back on the ball ( and not stopping up at night with me lol ) great work my friend and Godspeed to the crew of the dragon 👍👍👍👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙂
Thank you Michael for the comment matey and while I'm at it thank you for all the night cruise ship times you do for us cheers and it's appreciated 👍
safe tour of duty, to all aboard
I guess she will do a tour soon Capt Bumbler but she only went out for 24 hours probably testing the new systems that were changed on her refit, thanks for making a comment appreciated 👍
God Speed
Yes indeed Sid but she only went out for 24 hours probably testing the new systems that were changed on her refit, thanks for making a comment appreciated 👍
My favourite modern day ship. Biased.....Yes
Welshy biased of course you are and so you should be it has a wonderful design of the Welsh Dragon on the front it's just a shame it was so far away to get a close-up but glad you enjoyed watching it 👍
Lovely view of HNLMS Friesland departing from Portsmouth 😊 l love the music 🎶 🎵 too 😊
Thanks Jessie it was a good clear day for a change 🤗
Does it run on its own or are the tugs permanent?
Hi nomarcand the tugs escort her out of Portsmouth until she's well on her way then leaves her to carry on with her journey unaided hope that answers your question 👍
To much tugging you're doing.
Great video, loving the music and the gulls chipping in lol 😊
Nice to see it fully refit back on the seas again 😊
It was Jessie and a nice clear day for a change 🤗
Brilliant footage, it's awesome to see great work up close.
Thank you Dean just lucky to be looking at the right time but I'm sure there's lots I miss 😄hope your well 👍
@swifty2202 All good, even ken is happy lol. He's getting his self a parakeet to tame. All good I know you are. Keep up them great videos.
Riveting watch! The play of angles on those blades. Hopefully at some point you'll get to hear the backstory.
Thanks Pat I did check to see if there was anything on the local news but alas nothing so that's why I'm guessing it was just a practice which often happens around the cliffs of Alum bay 👍
Nice one Swifty 👍 😊
Thank you Jessie lucky to have been watching 👍
Impressive, dwarfs every building as she sails into Port. One of eleven🙊 3 Under construction 🤬 1 On Order..😏
Great footage again Swifty...when on the Isle I used to watch shipping from Ryde pier and Calshot when on the mainland....many hours spent there in the past..Great times
I've watched a few from Ryde pier they are big but seem smaller from a distance I think being they a few miles away from the pier I was surprised at the time but looks like you have some of your own memories which no one can take away😉thank you once again for the comment👍
She's beautiful Swifty well done for capturing her on her way for a refit
She was indeed Jessie a nice watch 🤗
Great to see...many thanks Swifty
Your welcome Wayne always love following the aircraft carriers they are special I think 🤔glad you enjoyed 👍
Great video Swifty, the lovely weather shows her up in all her glory 😊
Angie it was a perfect time daylight so different if it had gone out the night before when it was posted to do we were fortunate Thanks Angie for the comment 🌻🌻
@ yes we were very fortunate indeed, it’s not much fun watching it go out in the dark 🌙🌑a🤗
Swifty, I bet to see that in person. Is very impressive. Thanks for sharing.
Dean it was due to go out the night before when it was dark but thankfully they changed it to the morning bonus we think thank you mate for the comment hope your well👌👍
Another amazing view of HMS Prince of Wales thank you Swifty 😊
Jessie wasn't we lucky to have her leave in daylight it was a bonus for us 🤗
Thank you @Swifty
Morgan thank you glad you liked it as it was supposed to go out the night before in the dark a bonus they changed it untill the morning 👍
Love it when they come home, not such a good feeling when they are leaving though, goodness knows how the family of the personnel feel. Lovely video Swifty, thankyou 🤗
Thank you Angie not the best of weather but at least it was visible this time 🌻🌻
It's always nice to see the aircraft carriers coming home 😊
Yes Jessie we like the aircraft carriers don't we always worth a look 🤗
Another great video, stunning to see. Thank you swifty.
Thank you Dean for the comment I've had a busy few weeks so at last I can reply and give you a nice big 👍hope you keeping well 🤔take care 😉
Always good to see her return home, lovely video as always Swifty 🤗
Thank you! 😃Angie we do our best 🌻🌻
@ you certainly do Swifty, I have no complaints 🤗
She certainly is a big girl...reminds me of the first day of my Honeymoon spent on the wall of the entrance of Portsmouth Harbour in 1982 to watch Hms Hermes home coming showing the signs of heavy seas on her paintwork
Wayne that must have been something you will remember and never forget I like those sort of moments in peoples lives thank you for letting us in on your memory 👍
Brilliant coverage, nice to see Phenix leading her in too 😉
Pat thank you the tugs do a good job but then that's why they tug and pull 😂cheers for the comment👍
Welcome home 😊
Good wasn't it Jessie 🤗
Great looking ship..lovely clear footage on a flat calm sea...brilliant 👌
Thank you Wayne some day's are so very clear and some not we were lucky that day 👍thanks for commenting cheers 👍
What lovely sight to see Disney Dream going into Southampton for the last time 😪 it was lovely to see her this year, but now she's off to sunnier climes 😊
Jessie's fav ship but remember we will have a new Disney ship next year so you can make that one your fav 🤗
A beautiful ship passing by on a lovely day 😊
It was indeed Jessie and we got to see it live 🤗
Wow..that's great..the never ending size of space blows my mind..we are just a speck of sand in the Sahara ..that comet on a never ending journey to only god knows where ..great pic
Thank you Wayne infinite space how can anyone get there head round that infinite objects in space just a number you have never heard of 🤔it took me ages to find it in a very large sky but this was the result glad you liked it wish it was a longer clip 👍
How fantastic is that, thanks Swifty, what a star ⭐️ you are. Fabulous to see it. 😊🤗🌻
Angie I wish it was longer but to find a spot in the very large sky was more luck than judgment but found it I did 🌻🌻glad you liked it 🤗
Thank you for sharing Swifty😊 In my region, some conditions were bad to see it 😢
Shoko hope you are well 😘shame we in the UK are getting mostly cloudy nights just a lucky break to get this chance of a lifetime 🤗🤗
Ty for sharing this with all of us I'm a star gazer so this is awesome to see Swifty 🥰😊👍
Thanks Alix I was waiting for another day to see if it was possible to get it better as it took a time to find it on the cam but once I had a starting point it would have been easier next time and maybe longer but alas time is running out as the weather for the next few day are going to be cloudy so as not to keep it to myself I released it for all to see 😉glad you thought it was good for what it was just a bit brief 🥰
Really enjoyed that Swifty. You were lucky to get that. Just shows how manoeuvrable and stable it is.
Hi to you stranger hope your well and yes we do get a lot of testing of the hover right in front of the cam sometimes they just go up and down for half hour or so but sometimes they really go for it and this was one of those occasions 😉thanks for the comment 👍
I am always around the cams on the island, that is when they are working. Had a fabulous holiday there last week, great weather. Have probs finding your page as there are so many Swiftys. Just waiting for my next visit end of November. Love the winter weather there. Best wishes Swifty.
What a moment to remember a once in lifetime view 😊
So majestic as she comes out it’s like watching follow the leader big tug looking like you will follow me and the little tug at the back saying wait for me 👍😁😁nice camera work Swifty 👍
He was definitely enjoying himself surprised that he didn’t pop in and say hello to you Swifty 👍👏👏😁
This is why Jessie loves this ship its absolutely stunning so breathtaking 👍👋🙂
Great footage Swifty
Thanks Wayne appreciate the comment👍
May Dauntless and all aboard her sail safely and well. May she have fair winds and following seas. May she accomplish her missions with skill and daring. And may all aboard return home to their loved ones with nothing worse than stories to tell. A respectful tip of the Stetson to her and her crew from an old cavalryman from across the pond.
Carl Hicks Jr that is a beautiful tribute to the boys and girls sailing out to who knows where and to what they may face for the protection of our country and hopefully make the world a better place for everyone to live in peace 💕thank you really appreciated take care yourself 🕊

I've watched the hovercraft many many times when visiting Ryde over the years but have never used it..After seeing this footage next time I will....do you reckon if I bung the Captain an extra fiver he would do a few spins like that😂
Wayne why not try this www.hovertravel.co.uk/Hovercraft-Experience-Flight

@@Wayne-wv8us the video you see is just a sample of what's see from the static cam in the church spire that I'm lucky enough to be give the controls to play with 😉we have the hover being tested right in front us even new one destine for aboard and we have seen more spectacular spins and speed when they put them through there paces than these even a helicopter rescue practice from the RNLI and air sea recuse right in front of us 👍it would be a great experience to have a go on the Hover experience day but a tad expensive but people would pay good money to even be on one when it's being tested (some wouldn't but hey ho 😱) thanks for the comment much appreciate 👍
they trying to sneak captured immigrants into France?? we all know, Brits are insane... and since 2016, its clear to us they are not that smart anymore!
Absolutely incredible mate what a blast that must have been 🙂
It's called testing Ian I'd love to see them test them everyday or better still be on it 🙃
@@swifty2202 I'd love to fly the drone around it but it's too far out 😂
I think the captain, has had to much coffee.😅
Dean or to many 🍺but then why not if they do this for us to watch I'd loved to have been on it 😢
We saw her passing by (on the horizon) yesterday afternoon from the NCI lookout on Hengistbury Head
John thanks for the comment it's a shame she was so far away from you she's a beautiful ship (well I think so ) 👍
What fun the pilot was having it must be fantastic to be able to take a hover on a spin like that
Jessie you know you want to be on it you know that right 🤔
