Little known Anorak fact.

That Stringbag was the first aircraft to be fixed on board ArkR V. Its tail got damaged by a shipyard crane just after it was lifted onto the deck at Walker Naval Yard in Newcastle.

Going to be a sad day to see the end of this ARKR. Almost 32 years to the day that the previous ship made her final port entrance
