that is absolutely amazing, I remember her being removed from west float in Birkenhead thinking she's just going to end up being scrapped. the biggest well done for everybody involved. and ive been to the D-Day museum in Southsea. |

I knew nothing about this until I caught a piece on TV a few weeks ago – subsequent Google searches didn't turn up much either. I think this is a truly important piece of restoration but at the same find the lack of publicity astounding. I can't wait to see it for real; when does it open to the public and is it strong enough to allow visitors onboard?
A marvellous piece of work with kudos to all those involved. |

Some of the news stories that were out there at the time link link link link link link link There's quite a bit out there if you google "LCT 7074". The actual move was deliberately not publicised as the museum didn't want thousands of people crowding the seafront to watch. In pre-covid times things would have been different. |

Fantastic. A brilliant effort by all involved. Odd to see a landing craft moving along a road. ;-) |

She is an LCT III I think? Amazing work. Interested to see the orange/yellow stripe. I know D-Day used Green, Red or Blue depending on which British/Canadian beach, but have no idea about US beaches, where plenty of British LCs involved. |
