HMS Illustratious

Hi, I have a view to the docks and sea in Bergen form my appartment. And this weekend a aircraft carrier has docked....

The lokal news paper made a story http://www.bt.no/lokalt/hordaland/article360749.ece

A bird told me that Wiz and sniper would be happy....

And sniper, they got the middle finger, and I told them that it was from you...

Illustrious is only a baby really, i have had the pleasure of a tour around 'Ark Royal' which is our flagship carrier. Have also stood next to the US carrier 'JFK' and that is foo&ing huge.

Medic..check to see if she is 'armed' if so, we may be planning to invade Norway Lol

LOL. An other great man (me...) said: Don't f*** with the Vikings!!! LOL.

We will take them with one arm tied on our back....

We have the same number of F16 fighters as the carrier had, but the question is: Can anyone fly them? LOL

The ship was beautiful, but I was suprised how small it is...

Beats me who would put a F-16 on a carrier but one thing I do know.

You don't fool with the U.S.A. Navy when it comes to the Air. Those naval aviators are some of the best. Especially the old school ones Wink

I wouldn't know about any one else's CBG pilots but hehe. I'd be glad to be on friendly terms with the British if one of their capitol ships were in my port and support ships in striking distance.

Harrier GR-9's Medic...as for RN pilots, take step back to the south atlantic in 1982, flying at 10m above the sea, in winter where the waves can be taller, i think we can fly.

Ghost.....you say this as if i control what our forces do, fortunatly not.

She is small, the smallest of ours, but we are building a new one..bigger than the Charles de Gaulle of France.

ok First tut tut on the offensive language on the forums Medic lol im shocked lol. (DAM VIKINGS).

What differs in the British Armed Forces to another. You may have the latest and greatest hardware in the modern battlefield, but no armed forces (and this includes the US army) can never match or beat the raw grit of a british soldier we can fight through any situation and be the best of our enironment..........how do i know this cos ive sweated blood with the best of them on tours.

the last successful invasion of the British isles was was its too long to remember so COME ON WORLD I WILL HAVE TO FOR BREAK....FAST LOL
