Former RMAS Aberdovey was the lead vessel of the RMAS Aberdovey Class of Naval Fleet Tenders.
Aberdovey was RMAS but only for a short period, she was the Royal Marines training ship and as she was commanded by a serving officer she was uniquely HMFT Aberdovey.
In her later years in-service she was utilised as a Sea Cadet Corps Training Vessel once based in Portsmouth.
Photographed here on on the Gare Loch in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It is the nearest town to the HMNB Clyde naval base. Garelochhead lies 7 miles northwest of Helensburgh. Loch Lomond is a few miles to the east, and Loch Long to the west.

In the cold, fog and snow, waiting for the ski lift to take you to a new exciting descent, at more than 100 km/h!
Living life to the fullest while being in peace, silence and fullness, all this with a lot of extraordinary sensations!
The joys that ski descents can provide are incomparable to all other experiences.
Everyone experiences it as they wish, at their own pace, the only time when everyone is equal at this level is sitting on the RMA seats!
Engine: 1496 cc four cylinder, 55 hp.
The Tulip Rally in Holland was first run in 1949 and this Riley RMA was one of the entrants.
Its owner bought the car two years earlier and intended to use it extensively. The Riley participated in various motoring events, including those at the Zandvoort circuit, and the first owner covered some 300,000 kilometres in all. The engine eventually broke down but was replaced at the factory.
The first owner kept the car for twenty years. In the mid-sixties he sold the Riley but then in the nineties he re-acquired the car. The Riley was fully restored around 2008.
Before the war, Riley was a famous British marque of sports and racing cars. At the end of the 1930s the company found itself in financial difficulties and was taken over by the Nuffield Organisation. In 1952 the marque was merged into the British Motor Corporation and later into British Leyland. Riley was discontinued in 1969.

Den Haag, the Netherlands.
Saw three large bulls standing by the road. As soon as we and two other cars stopped, they decided to make a leisurely stroll onto the road. Since they were dead ahead, there was no choice but to shoot through the windshield. Sure glad I cleaned it. Immediately after this, he moved up to join his buddy on the road - adjacent photo.
Some pictures taken by the late Michael Cleary. 1980 I believe.
A very smart looking RMA. Has it just had a repaint? That is Chiswick Works.
Quite a shock to see this parked up on a fairly ordinary street! This beautiful old post war car is I believe a Riley RMA, dating from 1950.
Especially shocking is to see one in this kind of condition, with rust patches everywhere, however I really like it looking like this, and just hope it's mechanically reliable and strong! This colour is brilliant, and I imagine this is what they would've looked like in the 60s. I bet most RMA survivors are in perfect showroom condition, so I rather like this one, and a great colour too. Taxed into 2018 happily, I would think most cars of this vintage are in fairly safe hands?
Here at Portsmouth, we see FOXHOUND, a ‘Dog’ class tug originally built for the Royal Maritime Auxiliary Service (RMAS)
Sadly, I have no notes of when I took this photo, but judging by the Network SouthEast liveried train which can just be seen in the background, I would hazard a guess at late 1980`s, maybe early 90`s.
The pair of RMAs had been converted to open top and right hand boarding prior to export for use by Stagecoach Portugal.

Along the aptly name Wildlife Drive loop at Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge. Saw no others within photo range.
The Rocky Mountain Arsenal (RMA) was built in 1942 to manufacture chemical weapons. A portion of the site was leased to private industry in 1946 for petroleum production and agricultural and industrial chemical manufacturing.[1] When the American chemical weapons program was shut down after the Vietnam War,[2] the RMA served as a site for dismantling and disposing of these weapons.[1] The Shell Oil Company also used a portion of the site in the 1980s to produce pesticides.[2] The RMA was closed in 1985, and in 1987 environmental testing revealed that the site was extremely polluted. The RMA was listed on the National Priorities List, a list of hazardous waste sites in the United States eligible for long-term remedial action (cleanup) financed under the federal Superfund program run by the Environmental Protection Agency.[1]
In 1986, while environmental testing was continuing, a winter communal roost of bald eagles, then an endangered species, was discovered at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal.[3] Additional investigation by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) discovered that the RMA was home more than 330 species of wildlife. With the arsenal not fit for human habitation, pressure quickly built to have it turned into a wildlife refuge.[4] Congress enacted the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge Act on September 25, 1992, and the legislation was signed into law by President George H. W. Bush on October 9. The law stipulated that a majority of the RMA site would become a national wildlife refuge under the jurisdiction of the Fish and Wildlife Service once the environmental restoration is completed. The Act also provided that, to the extent possible, the RMA was to be managed as a wildlife refuge in the interim.[5]

Tugs of the class were fitted for firefighting, salvage and oil pollution spraying. Not fitted with towing winches.
The electric drive provided a very quick response to the direct bridge controls and made these tugs easy to handle.
The masts could be lowered, by hand turning gear, to rest between the funnels when working under the overhang of aircraft carriers.
