HMS Ark royal will be stopping off near Gibraltar ( LXGB ).

An Open invitation for Carrier born aircraft and Choppers to visit the ship has been extended to us by the Royal Navy. If your aircraft is Not from the FGUK Hangers, please post a download link at least 24hours in advance to allow people to get it and avoid seeing gliders.

If You don't have the Ark Royal, you can get it here:-

Please pay attention to the instructions with it.

The Ark Royal is much smaller than the Nimitz class ships, so Heavy / large aircraft may find issues getting off the deck again. The port Cat has a bit more power to assist you getting off again.

Soooo sad. I have to work... nightshift.

I hope we can do something like this next week...

Wel its Summer and the chances of me having an uninterrupted tourist free flight night for the next few months is slim to none. Ships I can leave running while I go deal with people.

I am going for a meal to celebrate my birthday yesterday on Saturday so I'll sadly miss it.

But, if anyone is feeling daring, the Hawk T.1, while not officially carrier rated, it is scarybatically carrier rated, so feel free to give it a shot.
