The Ferry Man Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Evening, I was just wondering why the BF fleet in Portsmouth appear to be dressed up today? Link to post Share on other sites

georgem7 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Is it not also 40 years of the Portsmouth to St Malo route? Haven't seen anything mentioned about this. Link to post Share on other sites
daves_pad! Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 South Today on BBC1 about to have a report on the 40 years. Interesting story with some nice archive footage, just saw it on iPlayer - I didn't realise how small Armorique (I) was in comparison to "today's" fleet was! Link to post Share on other sites
neilcvx Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Is it not also 40 years of the Portsmouth to St Malo route? Haven't seen anything mentioned about this. https://vimeo.com/109906854 Nice quote from The companies founder about StMalo on here. Link to post Share on other sites
Gareth Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Is it not also 40 years of the Portsmouth to St Malo route? Haven't seen anything mentioned about this. That's effectively same thing as 40 years of Portsmouth CFP. St Malo (and TT to Cherbourg) were the first services to operate from the CFP. Link to post Share on other sites
The Ferry Man Posted June 8, 2016 Author Share Posted June 8, 2016 Ahh OK I see, I did wonder, if it was to do with Portsmouth Ports celebrations - I thought the Caen route was this Monday just gone though? Link to post Share on other sites
Poopy Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 As a Feock boy, born in Plymouth, this Video on Vimeo was fascinating for its comparison between King Harry and Britany Ferries! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
BF Enthusiast Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 How long are the flags due to last? Reminds me of when I first travelled on BF. Link to post Share on other sites
Le Quiberon Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I love it when the fleet are dressed in flags, always the sign of a symbolic or special occasion. A few times in recent memory include the BF 40th anniversary and D-Day anniversary commemerations. Link to post Share on other sites
The Ferry Man Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 I love it when the fleet are dressed in flags, always the sign of a symbolic or special occasion. A few times in recent memory include the BF 40th anniversary and D-Day anniversary commemerations. Defintley agree, they really do look something when fully dressed out Link to post Share on other sites
BF Enthusiast Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Are they likely to have them until the end of June? Link to post Share on other sites
