(and it should be LCT not LST!!) http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-29655649 I've seen this submerged in the dock for years, glad she's saved. Shame to let her rot away there, such a rare vessel and be fantastic to see her restored. Do we know who doing her? Is it Cammell Lairds?

Great War truck Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Great news! So, we can get out s*** together occasionally and save something rather than scrap it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Grundy Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I sneaked onto this vessel in the early 1980's. It had been the club ship 'Landfall' and was in quite good nick albeit with the tank deck covered and heightened. I cannot understand this country when it comes to naval heritage such as the recent scrapping of HMS Plymouth. LCT 7074 was allowed to sink and then its dragged up and the work will be much greater. I despair.... But good luck to those who are to do the work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hants_Jeff Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Makes you wonder what else is hidden away in some backwater .... still, if it's coming to Portsmouth it will be right on the doorstep! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
