ROYAL NAVY OP IN PROGRESS OFF MAIDENCOMBE
Startled to see two Royal Navy warships - one very close in to shore - off Maidencombe a few minutes ago. Rushed out with both cameras to see if I could identify the vessels as both are currently cloaking AIS. The vessel (above left) closest in is HMS Mersey P283 a River-class offshore patrol vessel of the Royal Navy. I cannot make out the other vessel but it could be another River-class vessel, HMS Severn, which was last spotted close to shore off Babbacombe on December 8th last year. Probably a naval exercise and I'll try and get video and close in shots tomorrow if they're still there.
