Sorry yes the PLA stuff.

Yes - but be careful calling it a chart ...
This is very handy when a level of detail is required. https://www.pla.co.uk/Safety/PLA-Hydrographic-Service-Published-Surveys

100% agree.
under no circumstances whatsoever would this laminated paper sheet probably be the only thing on display and referred to constantly on our trips round to Gods Own River.
Then willingly pay the very reasonable rates suggested to pass through the hallowed gates of Teddington and to adventure beyond into the land time forgot
Wow thanks for that link, always interested in whats underneath the boat and with recently with good reason.
