Well, not quite. But a bit of it is on it's way past though.

This bit (the mid section, weighing in at 8,000 tonnes):

It's on its way from the Clyde round to Rosyth. I'm sure it would have bin' quicker to send it down the M8.
Dunno if much will be seen though 'cos it's goin' dark.

Got a great view of it earlier as it passed the Kyle of Tongue. There are two tugs, one in front and one behind.

not long now til she is going past Scrabster Harbour, just looked at pics of the tugs and the new mid section of the aircraft carrier, it isn't that exciting to look at, at all
