Bruce Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 wow Phil, I didn't think the UK could afford a carrier. Has there been one all this time or is this the first for many years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Perry Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 wow Phil, I didn't think the UK could afford a carrier. Has there been one all this time or is this the first for many years? Yes Bruce. . . the first for a very long time. . . the UK, being some odd trillions in debt, can't afford to pay for it, so we all got together and 'Crowdfunded' it on the interweb . . . All we've got to do now is crowd fund a few aeroplanes to put on it too. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willedoo Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 All we've got to do now is crowd fund a few aeroplanes to put on it too. . . Phil, a cheaper way is to fit the deck out with some plywood mockups. Sail it up and down the Channel and those pesky Russians will be trembling in their boots. Cheers, Willie.

A few of those would be a lot cheaper than the real deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That isn't a bad idea, maybe they could fill them with water, to simulate the weight of the real thing and give the crew some practice pushing them around the deck and hangars ?. . . Good Idea that Marty ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
