THE INTERNATIONAL FLEET REVIEW 2005 by Jim Baumann with photo's by Terry Wiltshire
On 28 June 2005, one of the largest ever Fleet Reviews was held to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar and the death of Admiral Lord Nelson.

The International Fleet Review in the Solent marked the start of a special program of events in Portsmouth and the Solent between 28th June and 3rd July.
Over 170 ships from 35 countries took part in the 43rd International Fleet Review.  Her Majesty The Queen, sailing aboard HMS Endurance, conducted the Review, which involved a mixture of military, merchant and historic tall ships as well as helicopter and aircraft fly pasts.  The Review was the biggest ever of its kind.

 I was fortunate  in being able to  be among the ships on  MV Red Eagle, herself  being reviewed. I was joined by my partner Katrin , John and  Caroline Snyder of WEM and impromptu met up with Terry Wiltshire!
