The BBC reporter mis-spoke:

I saw HSL-102 at her mooring in Southampton and I saw MGB-81 in the shed being restored. Does anyone here know that Patrick McNee (THE AVENGERS, the original BATTLESTAR GALACTICA) had command of MGB-81. I actually helped to put him and his son in contact with the group restoring her ...
