Nice pics, keep them coming. I'd liked to have had a last look around the Ark Royal so your pics will be the next best thing :smashin:

Nice set - and no worries about the wings :D

Are the "blown" highlights added in PP ? - works well with the composition whatever it is :cool:

I am sorry say the blown high lights were purley accidental I did make some adjustments PP but only to rescue the shot.
Thank you for your kind comments
The Ark Royal will leave the Tyne on Tomorrows high tide for the last time a very sad day

Very poignant set, captures the sadness of a ship bound for the knackers yard.


...and only earlier today I was accused of Eloquence :rolleyes: :laugh:

Not being broken up as far as I know, our super intelligent government is considering selling it to a foreign country, knowing what a good job they are managing so far it will probably be sold to Argentina ;)

Ah well, if the old girl is still useable why not make some dosh? We've duffed up the Argies once, I doubt them having one of our cast-off tubs will swing the balance in the event we cross swords in the future!:smashin:

Yeah, I can just see the lynx helicopters on HMS Ocean make the Argies tremble in their boots. Never mind though, David Cameron has signed a deal with the French to look after us for the next 10 years ;)

Really nice set. I viewed it from the South Shields side of the river on Sunday morning. Just wish I had the time to do the on board tour.
