Stunning pictures Chris, HMS Norfolk really does look the bees knees at full speed..

for some reason I knew i'd seen that type of ship somewhere before....

Type 23 frigate - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

it was the same Type 23 Frigate used in the James Bond film 'Tomorrow Never Dies'.

HMS Westminster (F237) - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Westminster was used for the interior shots in the 1997 James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies as three different (fictional) Type 23 frigates – HMS Chester, HMS Devonshire and HMS Bedford.[5] For the exterior shots HMS Somerset was used with some features added by model construction.
