Was there still around 1130am, albeit a fair way out. Could only tell it was Illustrious after looking through my 300mm lens

HMS Illustrious is currently at anchor in Falmouth Bay, a mile or so off Pendennis Point.

The FGN Lynx,83+24 ,is off the FGS Lubeck currently undergoing FOST training at Plymouth.
There is also a Portuguese Navy Lynx ,19204, still around the area off the FRP d.Fransisco de Almeida, also FOST training.
