Ark Royal

the latest one? they broke it up, i thought she was the RN flagship

ive ammended the thread

Has anyone read ‘Ark Royal’ by Mike Rossiter, concerning his attempts to find the wreck of the ship in the Med, but also detailling it’s history, including lots of interesting aviation details.
I found it lurking in W H Smiths in Barnstaple while on holiday.
I found it a very good read whilst on the beach and was intrigued at the fact that Paul Allen was instrumental in helping him to find and film the wreck.
My only grouse was that some of the warships mentioned in the book were wrongly described, which I was picking up as I went along, without any reference. I’m no great expert on WW2 ships, but I thought the research and knowledge could have been better, though to be fair, he does consider this in his prologue.
Anyone else read it, and what did they think

Have a look at this thread..

I grabbed some images from the last ‘Sailor’ episode.

There have been a number of Ark Royals – [click]

one would assume the last real aircraft carrier, broken up in the 80’s….
