Built as RAF salvage ship H.M.S. Blackburn.
Laid up spring 1997. Have no idea of her fate.

Regards, Roy.

Correct Richie. I think she was called COMMUNICATOR and configured as a radio ship. Scrapped in Lerwick, if I remember correctly.

Phil,

Communicator was another Gardline vessel, Garline Seeker and she was scrapped in Orkney.
