Thanks for that, I've seen it before. It contains one of my Dad's ships HMS Searcher.

She stayed around in one form or another until 1976 (that's 40 ish years!)

One of her aircraft survives in Northern Ireland, http://www.bbc.co.uk/northernireland/yo ... 6984.shtml

She was being restored, but I'm not sure what's happened now the society moved.

Kind regards

John

Ps there is a repaint available of one of her aircraft

See, that's my lottery plan. Win £17 Million, buy a merchant ship and turn it into a carrier....

I'll come and crew for you Skip. SWMBO would be only too glad to see the back of me
