Sognefjord, Norway - 131-35a by Captain Martini, on Flickr

Found a great picture of alpha.

Take that photo 20/25 years later and it would have been completely different with regards to the crew. Firstly they would have been Filipino instead of NUS Brits - no bad thing - also, they'd have been wearing hard hats and life jackets & there would only have been essential personnel onboard the tender, nobody just there for 'the pose'!

I read elsewhere on the forum (Michael or Rod) that one was sold for commercial use in Croatia, I think.
