She's a beautiful ship, currently at the English & Welsh Grounds, Bristol Channel. I'm gutted I couldn't get to see and photograph her. Cracking vid!

Whats the Name of that Song?

Awesome.

I was there in 1974 and climbed it, but was told it was a few feet taller than 142. Frank in Bristol.

Did anyone actually fall off ?

Right decision to have the mast reinstated.

What’s happening around the area of the mast ? It looks like a building site?

I never got higher than the first yard arm (1974). I remember, right across from it was the drill hall, and just outside the door was a display case with a selection of canes... scared the hell out of me that did.

The ugliest ship afloat!

My dad was a button boy in 1938 and went on to serve until he left just after the Korean war.

Love Felixstowe 🥳🥳🥳🥳

I join the navy in 1953 and also climbed the mast on a sunday afternoon and stood on the button but i hated the place.

Well done to Wavensmere homes. OK, may have been a requirement but that didn't say you had to do an excellent job of it, to original standards plus.

Long may it stand !

Nice! I haven't chance to see her from that angle as I have always been at the wing. ;)

Doubt modern youth would be as daft as us lot ? HMS StVincent 1956 Hawk 961 Any left ?

It sad to see this place be changed from history to probably a council estate with people who don't give to shites about the history of where they live

Awesome!

Great video of the indirect towing despite the fading light!👍

Hats off to the trainee sailors. I have an awesome fear of heights and do not know how they can do it, especially the button boy.

I climbed it many times during 65/66 as I was a 15 year old trainee

Have great memories of living in the shadow of the mast. Blake 8 mess, top of long covered way. Spent some Wednesday afternoons climbing around on the mast, but never stood on the button. So good to see the mast back in good order. BZ to all involved in the restoration.

Thank you, what a great capture of the event. We watched a drone zoom over from the Shipwreck and hoped we'd be lucky enough to find the recording. Good job and thanks for posting.

nice one mate 😀

Greetings From Port Klang Malaysia. Thanks for the wonderful videos. Your VLCS videos are the best I have watched on UA-cam. Please upload more LNG powered VLCS/ULCS. During 80s & 90s I worked in Shipping Agents Office for Hapag Lloyd, NSCSA, Choyang, Samudra Indon, Contship Asia.

This has just popped into my feed, probably because earlier I showed my young grandchildren some UA-cam videos on dressing the mast, including the John Noakes attempt at climbing this mast at HMS Ganges. My grandsons were absolutely fascinated by it, and so impressed (as was I) by all those boys who went up so high - so brave yet so young. We then watched a couple of UA-cam videos on the gun carriage races at the Royal Tournament. What a lot we have lost, with both of those great events ceasing. The gun races were always the highlight of the Royal Tournament to me, and it’s tragic that they have gone. It’s great to see the mast restored. Thank you so much for showing this, many congratulations to all those involved in its restoration, and many congratulations - and thanks - to all those brave young lads who went through HMS Ganges.

Maybe because I climbed trees a lot as a kid, I had no fear of heights. I stood on the button and did the four points salute a few times in 1966.

Nice to see it restored. I only made it to the first platform - that was high enough for me. What's the plans for Nelson Hall and the swimming pool building?

More than just a mast it's the conduit for so many memories, moments and life experiences

Thank you very much for all your excellent video of the VLCS & ULCS. Hope to view newer ships soon. Greetings from Malaysia

Amazing vid.I live in wickham market and didnt know anything about it.Glad i didnt have to go any where.

Be a better video without the music

Fabulous footage, Jeff 😍

Interesting

Very good

Fascinating video. How far can you send your drone out reliably and confidently

A great drone video.

Spectacular video, thrilling to watch and good to see.

So nice!

Be happing this year ?

Great work!

Hi Jeff. Great film. I travelled down from Ipswich to London yesterday. I'm making a film of he trip - is there any chance I could use a few clips of your great drone files? about 30 seconds in total -and I will credit you of course

Beautiful footage. I’ve been “doon the watter” on The Waverley several times, normally from the Isle of Arran. The last time we were onboard, it was a beautiful sunny day, with the Kilbrannan Sound, between Arran and Kintyre, like the proverbial mill pond. As the ship turned to thrash her way back to Lochranza, a Spitfire of all things appeared out of a cloudless sky. The pilot was obviously as intrigued by the sight below him as we were of such an iconic plane, because it banked and flew around The Waverley several times, waggling its wings in salute. The Waverley blew her horn in response and we passengers cheered and waved. The ‘Spit’ then climbed and resumed its original course.

I went on this when it came to Eastbourne & it is a thing of beauty. If you get the change to experience it - it is a piece of history 👍

Great video as always
