Phil,
The two models of the new carrier in the FAAM date from the stage in the programme where two variants were still being considered. One with catapults and arresting gear, the other a STOVL design with a ski jump. The models have recently arrived and as yet don’t have the intended signage to explain this to the visitor.
I know a couple of folks at the FAAM and will try to ensure that the signs go up soonest.
Best regards as ever to all those visiting the FAA Museum.

There are two models (amongst several others of different ships) of the new aircraft carriers there. I've obviously missed something in the discussion. One has a ski-jump, the other doesn't.
Eh?
