HMS Illustrious


HMS Illustrious


    Excellent shots Kev - good to see her with some aircraft on her decks for a change, times I've seen her in the Tyne over the last couple of years no sign of them.

    Built on the Tyne of course -  Swan Hunters Wallsend Yard and launched 1st December 1981.

    Where was she when you took the shots?

    Regards

    Hi Kev

    Thought you might have been on the West side - Lusty had/has been involved in Operation Joint Warrior  :crazy2:
