QE has been sighted at Loch Long and at the munitions jetty at Glenmallen.

I think the QE/PoW hangars contain more virtual aircraft (containerised simulators) than real ones.

QE has already had a retired Harrier on her flight deck in July 2019. And there's still a Sea Harrier acting as a 'Jetty Guardian' on Princess Royal Jetty in Portsmouth. PoW too has had a partial Harrier aboard. It was used for pilot evacuation training in September 2021. https://pbs.twimg.com/media...

Re: Type 26 Frigate (City Class) (RN) [News Only]
The thread title specifically says it's a Type 26 Frigate (RN) News Only thread.
It does not say it's an Australian Hunter Class speculation and fantasy thread.

Wasn't the Dauphin II one of them? https://twitter.com/HMSPWLS/status/1706673996417085759 Correct! But the Yanks don't know what "Dauphin" means (the eldest son of a French King), so they call the "Dauphin" a "Dolphin" instead. :lol: See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
