I think the EA sold her off as rumour had it that the gearbox slipped under full load.
I'm certain they could have repaired her. She does not looked that cared for now.
Take some paint up with you Ben on holiday.

Thats interesting. I agree, her all white livery is very dull, no detailing anywhere just very plain. Notice the pusher stem added too.
I believe she is kept at yarmouth, hopefully I see her and will have a turn alongside or near her and jump on for some quick shots of wheelhouse etc
