- Hey everyone,
So we have the HMS Queen Elizabeth Aircraft Carrier docked in Liverpool for this weekend so there is a strict no fly zone in force for unmanned aircraft (drones). I had to get close to it too get some shots somehow so I jumped on to the Mersey Ferry with my friend and off we went.
Here is my video of my ride on the Mersey Ferry and a close look at HMS Queen Elizabeth.
I hope you enjoy the video.

A lot of memories in this video for me. I did my apprenticeship at lairds then built sections of the Type 45s in Portsmouth before ending up on the Planning team for the build of the Queen Elizabeth and her sister Prince of Wales before moving to Vancouver Canada and building Ships for Canadian Navy/Coastguard.
Any chance of a shoutout bud
The back bone of the Navy in the back bone of the nation, what a site.
Maybe in 5-6 years if it ever gets any aircraft to put on its decks which is unlikely.
Hi from Regina Saskatchewan Canada, I was born in Wallasey, moved as a young teenager in the mid 70,s but remember so much of the Mersey, I learned to waterski there. One of my cousin's was a ferry captain and I would sometimes spend the whole day back and forth across the river. Thanks for the memories 👍.
Great pics mate - you don't see an aircraft carrier in the Mersey every day!
We used to build them
Thank You so much for the great video of HMS Queen Elizabeth Aircraft Carrier she looks beautiful just standing there and I can't believe how close you got to her and I am so glad you got to take a video of her she is so big and it was nice to see all the other boats as well it was nice to see you doing it by the Liverpool Ferry and seeing the River Mersey i would like to see you do more videos of the River Mersey as well Thank You So Much
Lovely video,, thanks for sharing / taking the time and effort,, much appreciated
Nice wee video mate. Lovely spell of weather too in UK at the moment.
Nice one! Wish I’d thought of popping down.
Brings back memories as a child (guess the age 😄 ) of touring HMS Eagle, doing her final tour, before heading to the scrap yard.
1972
Hopefully big Lizzie has a few more years than in her 40+
Eagle wasn't sent to the breakers until 78
For 6 years she was moored off Plymouth as a floating source of spares for her still in service sister Ark Royal
Hi, Great shots of HMS Queen Elizabeth (R08) Aircraft Carrier on the River Mersey on a nice sunny say. A couple years ago HMS Prince Of Wales (R09) also visited Liverpool on a February rainy weekend and was then open to public viewing.
Really enjoying the video builds for Liverpool FC and Everton FC very enjoyable and keep up the good work.
Thanks for this, I was gutted to miss it but this makes up for it. Lovely day too 😎😎
Great video mate!2 yrs os so since the Prince of Wales was here!even living in the city we don't get that many chances to get to waterfront so good to bring it to us thanks matey!ynwa
Thanks Mister Drone, your uploads are always quality viewing .....
Great footage it shows you just how big it is
Good video, I’ve only ever been to Liverpool once but I might have to visit soon as the river Mersey looks so nice there.
Great video mate keep them coming doing
a real good job
Brings back memories ferry boat looking good now
another great video
Excellent content as always. Glad you mentioned the ferry terminal being closed until autumn. My wife and I visit New Brighton a couple of times a year and enjoy walking to the ferry terminal and back. The absence of the half way toilet break could have been a disaster. Cheers again for your interesting projects.
BRILLIANT SHOTS 💯👌🇬🇧
Missed your Drone in the air … but great effort MD … 🔆👏🔆
I think the fare was 2d the last time I was on the ferry - so pre 1971 !!
Great footage MR D
Superb footage without the drone 👍👍👍
Great footage of the aircraft carrier and Liverpool waterfront. Be good to capture some footage of it leaving on Monday.
Great work MD.
Impressive bit of kit that jeeees
This looks wonderful will watch on later will really enjoy watching. Excellent 👌.Is it your full time job now?Thank you all for now.🙏🙏🙏🙏☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️☘️☘️
Thanks Diane. No it’s not my full time job. It’s a hobby
Quality 👍
Good to see these two great ships calling in to Liverpool as they go out training and on work ups.
Cammell Laird of course built the carrier’s flight deck, hangers and some accommodation at its Birkenhead site.
Well done the Scousers .... 👍👏
We used to be able to build the whole thing years ago
@@joebloggs8422 Errr ... we DID build the whole thing here in the UK. Both of them.
Another good vid 👍 I was on the ferry today too, I was the one who gave you a shout as you were busy filming 🤣🤣
Ahh thanks Mark. Sorry I should have stopped to say hello but I was in the middle of filming this. Sorry buddy. Thanks for saying hi 👍🏻
Thanks mate.
@Mister Drone, funnily enough HMS Q Elizabeth dwarfs HMS Qorn the minesweeper whose home port is Liverpool. Instead a single able seaman on watch their must be 80-90 guardsman. Did you see any on deck?
Yes there were a few people on deck
@@misterdroneuk , Do you get many navy submarines on the Mersey. Probably to be found in the Irish sea heading down to Plymouth.
I don't think it's deep enough, submersible craft so there needs to be plenty of depth.
I kept meaning to come down and see this! You should do a video on the uboat story! I really wanna fly my drone over it
ua-cam.com/video/eefw4yQ27hQ/v-deo.html
Check out this video I did early in my drone flying days mate 👍🏻
@@misterdroneuk ah brill I'll have to give it a watch!
The channel “JTR” managed to get his drone by it. Are you sure there was an exclusion zone for drones?
100% mate. He broke the law 👍🏻😂
@@misterdroneuk - just goes to show how lax security was then. Imagine if there were explosives on his drone? A bit of an embarrassing situation for the plod.
@@Daveyengland yes mate that’s very true. I’ve actually just watched his video as it popped up as a recommendation for me. It’s a very good video but 100% against the flight restrictions that are in place at the moment. I’m surprised he got away with it to be honest.
god save the queen x
Anyone know what the two navy ships are in Lairds and why they’re there? They’ve been there yonks. I’m guessing decommissioned?
great vidio when am i getting the drone x tot nem
Livepool Love you 😍 ❤️ 😘 💓
Did you not get to ring the Mersey ferry's bell. No glimpse of the bridge on Mersey ferry. UA-cam channel VIP is has dissappeared.
being an RN vet I will be trying to see her this weekend, I seen Prince of Wales when it visited Liverpool
The ferry gives great views of it mate 👍🏻
I want to take that ferry cruise, does it go into Liverpool Bay and down to Eastham ferry? And that entrance music is so catchy with the dramatic music in the middle, what are they called , great video as ever 👍
Your back ground is all blown out, go in to your setting and you can sort it out
I take you are using a GoPro or something like that
11 quid for the ferry ride sounds a good price
You got no drone shots?
Cheers
Strict no fly zone this weekend over the Mersey Paul.
@@misterdroneuk 🤔 Just for a queens ship
Cheers
Nice tourist attraction but not a lot of use for anything else.
Please, please please don't put 'the' in front of 'HMS.' HMS stands for Her Majesty's Ship so putting 'the' in front of it is just soooooo wrong. Sorry to moan, but I'm an ex-Navy chap and it just grinds to hear or read it.
Seacombe ferry closed! £7 million pounds of repairs etc, but makes me laugh, its called a ferry yet they spend more time running river cruises, Royal decree???????
First time I've seen the ferry for the longest time...as my wife would say 'Augh me no like'. That paint job is just awful. Took all the character away
They have been like that for a long time o think Steve
Nick, I was 'sent' to join the Royal Navy in 1973 only came home on leave and the ferries were the last thing on my mind. Got wed and stayed in my base port of Plymouth. Left RN in '97 then went to work on Cruise ships. Now living the retirement days here in The Philippines. Good piccies of the day. Mersey looks really clean now eh!
