Dear All, I have a picy which I took at Chatham last year, it had the hull form of an IMS with the number 484 and wondered if anyone knew any history of it.
 
I have a photo but unable to get it down to 50Kb, without going fuzzy.
TIA.

Hi there,
 
Difficult to say without seeing it but....could be an ex Belgian minesweeper which has been laid up on the river for some time now, has an odd name but not so odd I can rember it! it did actually move into Chatham Marina last year for navy days, and then back to the river, bit of a state now and bumped the outer gates on entry...

Belgian "Ham" Class IMS.
484 Dinant was sold to Danish breakers in 1990 as far as records suggest, more likely 483 Ougree;
