SC5607

[Jack B]

Hi,
Ive got a slighly out of date copy of Admirialty folio SC5607 and am about to order a new copy, I just wanted to check however beforehand if anyone knows if a new edition is likely to be printed soon? I dont want to buy a new copy, only to find a new edition being published a couple of months later!

Can I suggest you check the NtM service: This shows the weekly NtM and each item is recorded against the relevant charts. So in the third column you can see how frequently SC5607 has impact changes. This service (FREE), gives you an image for each change. See http://www.crossingthethamesestuary.com/page9.html. Then if you go to http://www.crossingthethamesestuary.com/chartcorrectionlinks.html you can get the link to the UKHO NtM and see up the current changes since you purchased the folio. If it is slightly out of date I suspect a new edition would be a luxury rather than amending changes. From memory the big changes are the Whitaker and Swallowtail buoy change and from the Knock John channel to the Sea Reach. The Sunk Sand has changed but that might have been changed this winter since the UKHO's latest changes in April 2015 (prompted by my survey).
