H.M.S. IRON DUKE anchored off Elizabeth Castle, Jersey, 11 November 2016. With no second tug to assist her in berthing, it was decided to sail her back to Portsmouth and she departed at 11:20 shortly this after picture was taken. See pictures below.
oooooooooooo
H.M.S. IRON DUKE was due to dock in St. Helier Harbour on Friday 10 November, to allow her crew to take part in the Remembrance Sunday services. To allow her to berth in the Elizabeth Harbour, the tug SANDSFOOT CASTLE from Poole was engaged to assist.
In the event the English tug developed a problem resulting in IRON DUKE anchoring in St. Aubin’s Bay. Crew boat LIBERTY LASS then provided transport duties.

place of the States of Jersey defaced Blue Ensign which has been
flown by States vessels since July 1907. The reason for this is that
the Harbours and Airport were privatised on October 1 2015, and
now trade as Ports of Jersey Ltd.

CONDOR EXPRESS seen leaving Jersey on Saturday April 4 2015, her third attempt to leave the Islands service. The vessels final sailing should have been when she closed the Weymouth route on March 23 , but as the caption for the picture below indicates she was drafted in to cover for CONDOR LIBERATION on Good Friday April 4. With repairs still not completed EXPRESS had to cover again on the Saturday, and as if to go out on a high note, she was given her head after leaving Guernsey and AIS indicated that for most of the final leg her speed was mostly above 35 knots. As she approached the English coast she was above 36 knots with a maximum indicated at 38.8 knots, and she docked at Poole five minutes early.
A fine end to her service!

A group from the Jersey Model Boat Club have constructed a model of s.s. VEGA, a Red Cross vessel which brought in vital supplies to Jersey and Guernsey just before the end of World War Two. The model has now gone on display in the Red Cross shop in Queen Street, St. Helier being placed in the window on Saturday December 20 2014.
s.s. VEGA arrived in Jersey on the first of five trips on December 30 1944.

Two surprise vessels were to be seen in Saint Malo in August 2014. One was COMMODORE CLIPPER, newly back from repairs following damage sustained on 14 July, which arrived in Saint Malo on 23 August, making one voyage to cover for COMMODORE GOODWILL which underwent maintenance over the weekend. This was a rare occasion as apart from a few visits when she first entered service in 1999 the vessel never calls at the port.
The second was BRECQHOU WARRIOR which arrived from Guernsey.

Aircraft Crash September 4th
On the morning of September 4 2013 in thick fog (reportedly down to .2mn), a light aircraft on final approach to Jersey Airport plunged into the sea five miles off west of the coast of the Island.
Approximately twenty craft, two helicopters, and the air search aircraft responded to the May Day call, and commenced searching in nearly zero visibility. The following pictures were taken as the fog cleared, showing lifeboats, fishing boats, yachts, inshore rescue craft, and a Royal Navy warship.
No survivors were found, and only small pieces of debris and some private belongings were retrieved.
