Plane guard for the QE2 carriers?
Please forgive me if this topic has already been discussed. Whilst taking a trip down memory lane and watching some DVDs of "proper" RN carrier operations, it's impossible to miss the ever present Wessex undertaking plane guard duties. This has led me to thinking what is likely to undertake this role on board the new carriers? For as I understand things already there's not really enough Merlins or Wildcats to cover present and future tasks let alone this extra one.
