Attention News Editors:
Your representatives are invited to cover the salute. A second vessel will be provided as a photographic platform. This photographic vessel will formate on HMS Starling as she fires the salute. The photographic vessel can provide a stable platform despite harbour conditions but photographers should be prepared for a distance from themselves to the saluting deck aboard HMS Starling of about 100 to 300
metres.
Reporters and photographers should arrive at the Main Gate, Prince of Wales Barracks, by not later than 10.45 am. The photographic vessel will sail at 11 am. Representatives may expect to disembark after the facility at about 12.30 pm.
