As it seems that a decision has been made about RFA Argus, I thought Iβd repost this that I did a few years ago.
A rather sad end to a ship with such a proud history

A brief look at @RFAArgus
Argus is an old lady with an interesting history. For almost 40 years, sheβs quietly gone about her business with little public recognition and (it appears) little political impetus to replace her

RFAβs Fort Austin, Fort Rosalie and Argus, HMS Scott, MCMVβs and other equipment listed for sale be DESA. A worry that Scottβs OSD is 2022 and Argus 2024 with no replacements as yet

Now if I was a cynicβ¦plane doesnβt turn up, man forced to get on the last military plane, animals left behind, twitterati go into apoplectic rage blaming the MoD, man and all the money raised arrive home to a movie deal starring Tom Hanks π

NEW Aircraft chartered by Pen Farthing hasnβt turned up at Kabul yet & MoD donβt even know if it is airborne.
UK defence source accuses Farthingβs agent of misleading them about planeβs location.
βWe were expecting it ten minutes ago. This is getting ridiculous. Dangerous evenβ

Iβve had the good fortune to work closely with the RNLI on several occasions and it never ceased to amaze me at how professional, capable, well trained and committed they are. Theyβre an organisation that we should all be proud of and support in any way that we can
On the very first World Drowning Prevention Day, we pledge that we will never stand by. This is our watch and, with you by our side, weβll save every one we can
