Some inspiring photos with HMS Queen Elizabeth II as the main subject .... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/in-pictures-54420134

Hopefully it will calm Dave's concerns of the UK having a lack of firepower :wink:

Quick question for the experts - on the F35's, what's the wheelie bin lid behind the cockpit for ? I ask as to me it would seem to prevent the aircraft from being as streamline as it could be.

Point of order, she’s not the second, she’s named after the 1st, and iirc the dustbin lid is up when the vertical motion is required diverting airflow downward

Edit used for rolling take off aswell.

Works in a similar fashion to the Sea Harrier nozzles. However the harrier uses exhaust gases from the engine and directs the air flow down. The F-35 has two ****off fans that blast cold air rather than exhaust gases downwards.

There should be an app that lets you superimpose it on your street (or wherever takes your fancy).

Are we collecting more F35bs for the ship or are we picking up a squadron of USNAF F35bs for a reason ? genuine question .
