I just had a look at the CVA-01 details. It was cancelled due to cost, it was going to cost £70million............... I know it's 1960s money but think of the money that's been peed up the wall since. We got no CVAs and no TSR2 either, or even the F-111 that was supposed to fill in.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm 36 Phantoms and Buccaneers..................

Thanks for that chaps.

Never have my binoculars at crucial moments.

Noticed "Multraship Tug MTS Viscount" on the map.

I think a comma after the word 'built' or 'not' italisized would have made the comment more easily understood mate.

Bristol was also bloody expensive.. too expensive as it transpired which was another reason only 1 was built. Still.. it was and still is a handsome ship. Never served on it but I know a man who did

Might be on her way to be reactivated

A new ship would probably be cheaper though.

I quiet agree, I've done quick a bit of recruitment photography on-board her, she makes a great backdrop, but you have to keep the wooden decks out of shot!

That's an odd one John. She's flying a Rear-Admirals flag and still has her pennant number How old is that shot?
For the uninitiated.. an Admiral has no balls, a Vice-Admiral has one ball, a Rear-Admiral has 2 balls and a Commodore flies a pennant with one ball. Has that come out right

My luck during a serious meeting with clients, I'll have to keep myself from having a laugh.
