Get off the Runway!

On HMS Queen Elizabeth. My friends from the Worshipful Company of Constructors has been attending the Masters Weekend in Portsmouth. I would have liked to join in but, this year the timing just didn't work out. One of the "outings" was a visit to HMS QE. I was particularly sorry to miss that. The Royal Navy Website reports the following about her.. And more info at: https://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/our-organisation/the-fighting-arms/surface-fleet/aircraft-carriers/hms-queen-elizabeth

HMS Queen Elizabeth is the largest and most powerful vessel ever constructed for the Royal Navy. This awe-inspiring warship is capable of carrying up to 40 aircraft.As well as state-of-the-art weaponry and communications systems, HMS Queen Elizabeth boasts five gyms, a chapel and a medical centre.The flight deck of HMS Queen Elizabeth comes in at an enormous four acres, and will be used to launch the fearsome new F35 Joint Strike Fighter fast jet. Four fighter jets can be moved from the hangar to the flight deck in just one minute. The ship’s two propellers weigh 33 tonnes each. The powerplant behind them generates enough power to run 1000 family cars.
