Oh.....It doesnt seem to have any A/C?

HMS Hemes was almost transferred to Australian Navy but then the Falklands war started..... after the war the Australian Navy lost interest in aircraft carriers.... Hermes was sold to the Indians as the INS Virat.

Great thread!

My uncle was a Navy carrier pilot. He flew F4 Corsairs in WW2. A great old gentleman.

Every time we'd come to visit, he'd see us drive up his driveway, and he'd become the LSO guy, giving us "landing" signals. Then, when we left, he'd do the "run 'em up" with his hands...
