It doesn't mention a trailer? What sort of car would you need to legally tow it?

That comment reminds me of meeting this brute in Iceland in 2004. My Landrovering nose was somewhat out of joint and I muttered to one of the lads "God, where would you drive a thing like that?"
"Pretty much anywhere you want!" was the reply back then too

Almost looks like someone has rear ended a caravan in a landy till you realise it's the front.
Poor old Invincible - Replaced by HMS Invisible - thanks Dave good job!

It's a pretty wide transom... With a nice bracket back there, you could probably hang 15 or 20 Etecs...

I went down to Portsmouth harbour this morning to greet HMS Ark Royal for the last time. There was meant to be a fly past by 4 GR4 Harriers. When I got down there however it was misty, a real pea souper. You couldn't see one side of the Harbour entrance to the other, that meant that the QHM was in "Fog" mode and thus all the shipping was being delayed.
So a bit of a missed opportunity I think
