It visited Beirut on the first week of November 1999.
I took this opportunity to photograph the Lynx helicopter on deck.
This is a general view of the ship.
The ship in the background is the Sir Percival, a re-supply ship.

| A failed look into the cockpit. Unfortunately they closed the door just as I was ready to hit the button. | Another look into the cockpit, this time the center console. The glare is bad on the plexiglas window. | Don't know what to call this. Some sort of trolley to move the Lynx on the deck. | Trolley connection to the nose gear. |

| Closer look at trolley. | Detail of the main gear, and what appears to be a radar warning receiver on the end. | A shot of the tail boom. | Getting close to the tail rotor. |

| Looking from the stern. As you can see, quite a crowd is trying to get on board. | A farewell shot at dusk.If you can see in the dark, that's me. |
