    Fabulous! The bodywork looks reasonably Heraldish too. Though I don't think the Herald had little fins on the rear wings like that. And obviously it had a radiator grille.

Reaction to meeting Yuri Gagarin

from The National Archives UK

    On top of the despatch Macmillan has written: "I think Sir C Steel might point out to the Germans that Gagarin's reception was nothing like that which the little dog would have got. HM 18/3." This is a reference to the Soviet Union's use of dogs as astronauts, most famously Laika in 1957.

    According to wikipedia, F215 in 1960 would have been: F215 Graf Spee (the former HMS Flamingo) (1959–67)
  • Niall McAuley said:
    She was sold to the Federal Republic of Germany in 1959, where she was renamed "Graf Spee" and used as a cadet training ship... During her service she undertook a series of training trips abroad , often with her ​​sister ship "Hipper" they i.a. repeatedly resulted in American port cities , from Victoria ( British Columbia ) in the north to Valparaiso and to Cape Horn in the South Pacific .

    I think the building behind the bow of the ship is Ringsend Tech which we saw last week. www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/30691019416/in/dateposted/
