Yep!!!! Be my Guest Quote .. my source of 8 surging to 12 Britain's Defence Squeeze: Channel 4 Dispatches on Channel 4 + 1, Mon 16 Mar 8:30pm - Your UK TV Listings at TVGuide.co.uk Ps this is about embarked aircraft!!! As the thread is about a Flat top ...this is a smaller number embarked in Defence review quote F-35 orders and deliveries are obviously being pushed further down the line. So Instead of having the two front line squadrons by the early 2020s, we will only have one. Thus the now advertised figure of 6 routinely embarked and 12 during a surge (previously it was 12 and 24).

The railway track on the Forth Bridge, built in 1890, is 46 metres above the water level. Ther is about a 3 metre variation in the tide at Leith.
HMS Queen Elizabeth is about 55 metres above the water line..

...and is equipped with a fully folding mast!

Edited to remove: It's 110 metres, according to Wiki - height and height above the water level not being the same, of course.

I think that I saw that the top masts can be lowered down so that the Carriers can get out to sea.
What surprises me about the video is that there are F35s that look to be working in the video, a leap of faith I would have thought...

.......To my knowledge, the F-35B has yet to take off using a ski-jump although one exists at NAS Lakehurst for trials purposes
Pax River recently got a newer ramp for the "B". I have seen it. Agree that I have not heard of a F-35 using a ramp yet.
2014 Article on the newer ramp at Pax River.
Pax ski jump readied for future F-35B Lightning II launches -- DCMilitary.com
Can do both sides (L), multiple points. RAS(S) and RAS(A) on stbd side as the storing routes are (quite correctly) via the lifts which are again - quite correctly - clear of the t/o and landing areas.
Not like we haven't done close company RAS - port and starboard before. One of Hermes here, you're probably there somewhere!
