The people of Portsmouth and Southsea are made of too stern stuff to let Covid put them off: so out in the fresh air where infection was – and is – vanishingly unlikely, they turned out in force as the Artelia team expertly manoeuvred the last LCT survivor of D-Day onto the Southsea promenade, inch by inch, checking and re-checking. Already safely on her SPMT, (Self-Propelled Modular Transporter) she made it onto the roadway, monitored all the while by those caring for her – notably ML (UK) of Portsmouth, who had done such outstanding restoration work on 7074 for The National Museum of the Royal Navy. As she moved off, a round of applause broke out – fitting recognition for this gallant survivor and all who triumphantly brought her back to life, to be seen and admired into the future.
