http://perso.orange.fr/bernard.joannes/bateau.htm The builders of the original gave this chap some assistance, perhaps Vickers` successors BAE might help ? There are many pages on this site, not sure if English version is as detailed as the French. Many pictures so it isn't too hard to follow. Flying models from the carrier is easier than from elsewhere , just get your head down at last second in case it is a "bolter". Swordfish would be best or foamies if Corsairs etc. What new technologies ? Guidance systems from RPV/UMA, spot landing assist? The rebuild/conversion of my Invincible isn't relevant here, it is only(!) 31ft long and a botch-up from what was a stage-prop. Its sole purpose was to fly R/C planes on and off, much smaller profile foamies. At 100ft I think the link above is more appropriate. Think real boat and you get the idea. Model aircraft at the correct scale are readily available,some even RTF, including Zeros for an attacking force. Could be a nice scenario with smoke and bombing, gunfire etc.
