The ship (The A110 RFA Orangeleaf) was built in the very early 1970's and was launched in 1973 so was actually built and first used at the time the A110 was on sale
The ship itself is a 560ft fleet support tanker of the Royal Fleet Auxilary which saw action in the Falklands and the Gulf war.Great effort by everyone and I love the idea of snapping these cars as we use them and go to interesting places. I don't think we celebrate owning these cars enough. As much as we all love driving the cars, it's only when you actually see another on the road that you appreciate what you have and what other road users get to see whenever you go for a spin. The roads are far too boring these days with endless silver BMW's, Mercs and Audi's (many of which are on the hard shoulder

A great effort by all who took part - what was everyone else doing?
