ya the Brits new Cacrrier looks nice. :) always good to see the Royal Navy at sea. keep them russians nervous lol. then again. they don't have much of a Navy lol. or carriers for that matter.
Heya Ian. That was such a laugh that day, great days sailing, apart from lack off wind on the way down. We should really catch up some time for sailing again.
it will be great when the new super carriers are commisioned for the RN if you think illustrious is big these super carriers are to be twice the size of it
I agree, but we were told by the harbour master (as we were approaching the entrance) that they would be closing the harbour entrance to other craft to allow the carrier to come through. We made it in time, hence the chance to take the video. It appears however that they decided not to enforce the closure. In fairness, all the private vessels you see are within the small boat channel and not the main fairway.

They really should ban all private boats from leaving and entering the harbour whilst carriers come in and out.
Its something that will have to be done once the large new carriers are built, so they need to get better systems / security in place.
