"...now whether it is actual morse or just noise is open to debate of course."

Some of us would not know the difference

Guess it's too many years of saying "yes dear" when you ain't even heared what was said - just a response to a tone |-) The dam whip things, aerials, poles, things that stick up a bit more than others, Gerry Anderson puppet strings etc will be ammended - although they may be textured pink

Sri Mark.. the whole 'Aerial' thing has taken on a life of it's own

It still looks b1oody good regardless and I'll be buying it even though I don't use FSX very much. I need SOME incentive to use it and a set of Brit Carriers is one such thing guaranteed to make that happen ;-)

Morse, whips, (with or without pig-tails and ATU) aerials,(antennae) poles, (Blandford di-pole, signals for the use of).... Gerry Anderson...

Late as usual! Happy as a pig in shit! Absolutely Stunning model and now I have something appropreate to sail from Harlands!!!

(Assuming its an mdl and not a bgl) Just been looking through the "Jane's Fighting ships 59-60" That I bought a few weeks ago. and the whips aren't easy to make out in the old black and white pics.

Some interesting facts....
Laid down 24 October 1942 - Launched 19 March 1946 - Completed 1 October 1951.
Cost £15,795,000
90% welded
Deck letter was originally "J" before becoming "E" sometime after '57

Really can't wait.

One of the best books that is dedicated to the Eagle is "HMS Eagle 1942 - 1978" by Neil McCart. Almost every page has great Photo's etc and a very good account of her history. An interesting fact is that even as the Ark had the re-fit for the Steam cats to enable Phantom opp's and the Eagle missed out because of cut backs and a defence u-turn yet again is was still regarded as a far superior ship regarding electronic fit etc and also proved more reliable during her service and had quite a distinguished carrier.

In a word Chris.. Yes!

Never mind mate.. there's always one and it's only a matter of time before they end up here ;-)

Well Well, I get back after a new build and format and see this.............great to see another old girl looming for the sim. I seem to
remember this one being worked on some time ago. I'm glad it's going to be for FSX as I finally have it running like silk on the new
build.
If this is the same Eagle, there were going to be other models done as well, would this be correct ?

Nice one
