Wow ! just think of the possibilities with this one,you could fly from it easily and have a model museum below decks,model car racing section at one end and stage a full size fly in as well,which carrier is it anyway ?

...so let me get this straight, my carrier is 1/24th scale.... !/24th of $6million is WOW. I`m gonna get a balsa plantation, buy Laser Engine factory, tarmac the Club runway, give free kits to all the school-kids, bring Airfix back from China and and and....build a full-sized Lazy Bee....on floats. Seriously maybe the Fleet Air Arm Museum and Swan Hunter could get together with the City Fathers on Tyneside(?) and have a historical attraction cum memorial to Naval Aviation similar to some of the US ships, USS Enterprise is docked in New York. Mohammed el Fayed (Harrods owner) was planning converting a redundant North Sea oil rig as a tourist attraction in the Cromarty Firth. A Naval ship would be more suitable, the Firth having been a seaplane and flying-boat base as well as a Naval base since before WW1(and site of the famous mutiny) a carrier would be ideal. There is at the moment about 15 oil-rigs moored there...but an aircraft carrier would be unique. Maybe we should give him a call ? His country retreat is only a couple of miles from Cromarty. I`d be interested to know her HMS identity too.
