These three images are of the new memorial plaque to HMS Attack at Portland. The original (see below) is still in place but very difficult to access. As you can see, the new plaque is close to where the RNSA Portland runway was… The blue markings are related to the stonecutting and should wash off very quickly in the January weather!
