Re: Royal Navy HMS Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier
That's an interesting document Ranald and thanks for sharing. It will be interesting to learn what aircraft will be onboard when it's fully commissioned.

Re: Royal Navy HMS Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier
Alastair, I tried to see if there was a regular update, but could not find any info in that respect..... pity....
I think it was only towards the end of May or the beginning of June, there was a BBC report that at Rosyth the 'power turbines' were given their first tests.

Re: Royal Navy HMS Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier
I found out about the aircraft at http://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/the-equi...strike-fighter
I didn't see how long the carrier can last without refuling. I seem to remember that the US Nimitz can last 20 years with it's nuclear engines but the previous carrier had to be refuled every three days.
