  hot off the press from paul sampson of wccp who spotted these entering the western side earlier apparently from the solent.
  
  just need john mavin to put more detail on these, no good asking ed who is currently being sobered up in dunkirque.

  feet don't touch the ground before i get a message from paul wells that they are as follows:
  
  "The 5th Griffon 8000, in the current batch for the Indian Coastguard departs for Antwerp tomorrow, where it will then be shipped on from there."
