Looking westwards from Plymouth Hoe I often see one of the Britanny Ferries reversing into Millbay Docks. My painting was inspired by that of HMS Ark Royal by an admired friend of mine, Bob Tagg, who is sadly no longer with us. The aircraft carrier was moored up just beyond Millbay waiting to be decommissioned when Bob painted it about 40 years ago.
