We new this day was coming and my GP and Neurologist had sown the seed but no mater how prepared you are the word "Dementia" is a difficult one to hear. I went to my assessment at St Martins in Canterbury. All my tests results had been collected and I had my consultation with the Regional Dementia Consultant who confirmed my diagnosis with Dementia. This does mean that all the support services will now be available, time to draw a line in the sand and move forward and positively from here.

Nearly two years after arrival on Merseyside the hulk of RFA FORT GEORGE awaits to be towed to the Leyal Ship Recycling yard at Aliaga, Turkey.

RFA FORT GEORGE (A388) was a combined fleet stores ship and tanker of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary, and one of two Fort Victoria-class replenishment oilers.
FORT GEORGE was ordered from Swan Hunter in late 1987. The ship was laid down in 1989, launched by the wife of the Commander-in-Chief Fleet Admiral Sir Jock Slater in 1991 and commissioned in 1993.
Along with RFA FORT VICTORIA, the ship was equipped with two Phalanx CIWS point defence guns during a refit at Tyne in 1999.
In March 2000, the ship was equipped with five Westland Sea King helicopters and sent to Mozambique to help with disaster relief work following devastating floods.
In May she accompanied the aircraft carrier HMS ILLUSTRIOUS to Sierra Leone to support British operations to restore stability to that country. Late in the year, during a deployment in the Mediterranean, the ship helped passengers of the Greek ferry Express Samina which had run aground and sunk during a storm on 26 September.
In September 2009, Fort George, whilst working with the Type 23 frigate HMS IRON DUKE, was involved in the largest ever drugs seizure to date by the Royal Navy, when 5.5 tonnes of cocaine were seized from a converted fishing vessel MV CRISTAL in the Atlantic Ocean off South America.
Under the Strategic Defence and Security Review of 2010, the ship was identified for withdrawal.
From March 2011 she was being stripped of stores and fittings in Liverpool, where she remained for two years.
She left Liverpool on 16 January 2013 under tow destined for a Turkish ship breakers, Leyal at Aliaga.
Her sister ship, RFA FORT VICTORIA, remains in service as of 2025 and is expected to remain in service until 2031 - 18 years after the demise of the FORT GEORGE.
