Trip to HMS Belfast

On Sunday 28th April 2002 the club had a day out in London. We were invited by the Royal Naval Amateur Radio Society (RNARS) HMS Belfast group to look around the ship and operate from the Bridge Wireless Office using the famous GB2RN callsign.

Launched in March 1938 the cruiser HMS Belfast served with distinction in both the Second World War and the Korean War. She is the only surviving example of the big gun armoured warships built for the Royal Navy in the first half of the twentieth century.
