Ah, same link. Some good photos and latest news about RN and everyone elses effort here.
Hangars now a large store for food and aid. Guess they will be in for the long haul for this, looking at a few weeks I imagine. Hard on the Ships Company what with Xmas around the months corner of course. But thats life in a blue one as we used to say.
Best ships for this role are the RFA Bay Class I always think, but I guess they are thousands of miles away.
Well if Illustrious saves but one life or helps one person it will be for the greater good. God bless 'em.









Looking at the photos, they've taken only green Lynx, no sign of the Merlin or Sea King? Unless theyre out of phots.
Must be a good slick team on there, look very organised to me.
