A very powerful image,good photography.
Does the Clydesighter know what the time scale is for removing Flying Phantom,will it take days and will the river be closed to traffic.

That is a cracking photo, cheers
@Gerry
The river will be closed at 1000 GMT for six hours to allow it to manoeuvre into position above the tug.
Expected to take until Thursday to complete.
