My apologies. Should I delete, resize and re-post or just delete after a day as I was intending to do?

We'd rather you didn't, draken55. Either way... thanks.

No problems, a re-size would be good. Thanks.

Images deleted. I will re-size and re-post in due course.

Apologies again for the error.

Didn't have much to do with the aviation side. We were shifting dry stores, mostly bog roll and beans!

Well, according to some froggy upstart 'an army marches on its' stomach' :it seems the Admiralty are content to drag their arses !

Bye bye 'vince. Another old ship bites the dust, well I remember (well I don't) tumbling down the stairs and knocking myself unconscious. I awake to such lovely naval-isms as 'one hand for the ship, one hand for yourself'... couldn't you have told me that before I fell down the bloody stairs! (WAFU so they are stairs not gangplanks or ladders of companionways or whatever ;))

Invincible deserves a salute in the form of a flypast.

No Sea Harrier in the Historic Flight ? Can't be the Admiralty embarassed about stupid decisions while sitting on fat pensions, surely ?

Did anyone else spot what appears to be a gash in her hull starboard side, near the waterline. Check the picture in the Daily Mail

For those that did not read Jeremy Black's memoirs in his book "There and back"

He recounts one episode when his ops team called "Torpedo in the water". The contact was confirmed, Invincible went to to full speed to stern the target and evade. 820 Sqn was launched to prosecute the datum. No Result. Make your own minds up.

Navaleye.

HMS Invincible is presently just off Sohail Castle, Fuengirola, moving very slowly down the Med.

Have been watching her progress for the last hour or more. Beautiful clear day.

You get any pictures :(

Sorry, no.

Don't have a lens with enough strength on my camera.

A couple of pictures sent to be by a friend who served in HMS Invincible
and went to see her leaving Portsmouth for the last time.
