Re: New Carrier
Yes Vic, saw that too on the net. Hopefully this one can be built without the propulsion and shaft problems of the previous two and that there will be sufficient aircraft to keep two operational at all times.

Possibly another April fools joke
I saw on the net that in order for the new all electric inter island ferries being built in Poland, the shipyard has been designated as part of Scotland so they can claim that these new ferries have been built in Scotland.
