    Good one Steve! Nice to see her at work in a previous location.

    :police:
    And that is a hell of a size of FPSO....  :police:
    Its interesting looking at some of my shots dating back to 2003 and earlier - digital camera quality has come on in leaps and bounds  :police:

    Bonga was in the Tyne for about 3 years for her conversion - I'll post some shots of her shortly.

    Regards
