  For a second I thought you were talking about the USS Excelsior!
  
  For those who haven't been to The National Gallery yet, its worth it.
  The painting looks good in SF, in reality it and the others are exceptional.

  This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?

  Well, the Gainsborough isn't. Some goober attacked it last week.

  I went to London a couple of years ago (the only time I've been) from Monday to Thursday, and had a nice time seeing some of the Bond locations: MI6 building, London Underground entrance etc, and went to the National Gallery on the Monday. I asked one of the assistants where the Fighting Temeraire was, only to be told that the room was closed due to industrial action and would reopen on Friday, the day after I left! X-(
  
  When I saw the news headline the other day saying a National Gallery painting had been damaged, my first thought was the Fighting Temeraire; funny coincidence it's another Skyfall one.

  In May we've getting new 200 crown notes with a bloody big cod on it
  
  I've been to London twice, and I regret never going to the National Gallery.

  I clicked on this thread all excited that Boaty McBoatface was on the new note. Imagine how gutted I was to see some old wreck being towed to the knacker's yard instead.
