I believe the most notable difference between the Albion class ( HMS Albion, HMS Bulwark) and HMS Ocean is that the former are LPDs, with flooding docks at the back end for their embarked landing craft ( like Fearless and Intrepid ). HMS Ocean is more the helicopter carrier, with no stern dock. Her ...

I must say I'm awfully tempted to get that Dakota. Excellent screenshots, Peter, and a nice commentary aswell. :smile:

Thanks Dave, glad you enjoyed it. :smile:

I'm going to see if I can get to grips with Windows Movie Maker at some point and maybe stitch a mini Flying Legends video together. I'm told wmv files are a lot smaller than avi, so it'll be a quicker download too.

Thirty warbirds in one big formation! Its a fair size ( 28 Mb ), but I think you'll like it. ftp://242sq...

Yep a great day. Flying Legends never ceases to amaze me. This years surprises were three Bristol Fighters in the air in formation, an airworthy Morane-Saulnier M.S.406, two Catalinas ( one of which is the oldest flying PBY in the world and has three confirmed U-Boat sinkings credited to it ), and t...
