Re: Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers - News and Discussion

Another great pic. Also additional Type 23 would make sense with those two ASW Merlins cutting about. Or I'm talking b*llocks.

Re: Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers - News and Discussion

Apparently she'll be anchored off Kirkcaldy tonight, which makes perfect sense. No point starting trials at night with a ship that size.

Re: Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers - News and Discussion

Wonder whether they'll dare the Forth railway bridge at 7.8kts? Could see her attempting a slow down before that one.

Also am I correct in thinking there's a Type 23 escort waiting for her when she exits?



Fantastic job tonight.

Here she goes, nail biting after all these years tbh! Remember the MP.net thread from 2011, been a long journey.

Re: Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers - News and Discussion

Never really appreciated the size of her until the move today, absolutely huge!

It seems 820 NAS are getting a look in as well
