Hello all.
Had to take a visit to my nanas in Blackpool today and thought i'd take my camera along to get some pictures of the ship that got blown onto the beach in the storm. When I arrived i got a bit of a shock! Heres the pictures! :D
Mc Vities Chocolate Digestives all over the beach!

Just as we were in the car heading back home I heard the un-mistakeable noise of a Sea King! I grabbed my camera, ran over the tram tracks and up to the sea front to grab a pic. The Sea King (Based in RAF Valley, i think) was lowering some dutch salvage experts onto the vessel to unload all the fuel.

Comments welcome!

Did they refloat the RNLI craft that ran aground? There were two very serious incidents in the last two days off the Irish coat that were involved with.
-
Didn't see any other boats so they must have, or it got out at high tide.
There was just a big amount of coastguard vehicles / helicopters / police around trying to keep people off the beach near the vessel.
Certainly something you don't see everyday, and i doubt i'll see again!

I love digestives!!!! :D
-
Holy heck! Fun to walk over :twisted:
Thinking about it, with the Ice prince, and now this, this is 2 ships in near enough a month, thats a LOT, I wonder if something strange is happening...
-
Hey, the captain must be in my alliance :D
-
darn, I love those biscuits! quite expensive in the shops, any reason for me to get it cheap will make me happy :(

You can have some of my salty sea water ones
-
Diesel-salt-water cookies :D
-

I change my mind :lol:
-
FREE COOKIES!! There must've been some unopened packets?
-
yes but they would hav been wet.
-
There was. But most of them had opened in the strong waves
-

I would't eat them anyway. The packages aren't made to keep off the saltwater and the oil that would have very likely leaked from the ship.
-
But I am saying there must been some that WEREN'T opened. Therefore they wouldn't be wet/salty because the water could not get to them. They'd be fine.
-
No, they wouldn't be. Just put a package of cookies underwater for 20 minutes and then try to eat them... they're quite hydroscopic :lol:
-
Can someone please tell me how water passes through plastic wrapping with no holes/gaps in it? Something must be different in the UK.
-
I suppose there is 2 types of wrappers...
With cookies they're normally foil type packaging that are sealed, you cant get into them...
Where as with the Mc Vities ones, its just a piece of packaging with a bit of glue stuck to each end holding it together. (http://img206.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picture009tk8.jpg look at the end of it).

Ah. If only there were some well-packaged cookies on that ship :D
-
The packaging of the McVities are very easy to break... even placed in a supermarket. It is no surprised that most are broken.
-
I even managed to get my picture on the a.net homepage :shock:
-
Haha well done! It does show the chopper in what its made to do well :)
Try getting the buiscits on a.net :D

Wow, that's awsome!

Sea King and the RAF in their element yesterday. Fighting the 50mph wind winching people onto the vessel. Shows how highly trained they are! Kudos to the RAF!
