Agreed 👍 I have the Airfix 1:350 Illustrious kit which is on my 'to be motorised by Plastic magic' list 😉

I worked for Vickers in Barrow when they were building HMS invincible she was also a beautiful ship

I'm right jealous 😆 But I have to admit I did have the pleasure of visiting the BAE Govan yard (formerly Yarrow Shipbuilding!) a few times while HMS Daring - T45 #1 was under construction 👍😊 Mighty impressive was the module construction hall with a module being fitted out - it was 'massive' and weird to see all the insides outside so to speak! 😲
Even more impressive was the next visit when she had been launched and moved across the river to the final fitting out dock. Just round the corner from her were 3 FACs for which our company had supplied the Comms systems.
Visits like that are what I miss most since I retired 🤔

Couldn't believe how big it is(ooh Mrs ) she is magnificent looked good from the bridge when she was being built far more impressive floating didn't appear to miss the bridge by much

How did it go?
Have just seen video of her on the German TV News 😉😊
On the BBC website

Cheers Doug 😎

low tides at 23.00 at Rosyth ,even her indoors wants to see her so off we jolly well go ,hopefully she'l still be in the Forth when its light in the morning for a better look

There should be plenty drawings ,depending on the weather will try to get some photos

That'll be an amazing sight! Who's going to build the 1st model 😅
