    former royal marine jailed for murdering a wounded Afghan prisoner has a "real possibility" of winning an appeal against his conviction after new evidence came to light, the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) says.

    HMS Illustrious sold for 2.1million

    UK last aircraft carrier. Now on route to get scrapped.

    Due to go into service 2020, but supposedly in the water already.

    I think there's two. Biggest the RN has ever had.

    No service in 2020, meaning it'll be manned and operational... that's 3 years and a bit.

    We must have a backup plan.

    Not the best time to flog your aircraft carrier for peanuts when Trumpet has said 'fight your own wars' is it?

    Gravy pants time.

    Dont we have an agreement with the French to 'borrow or play with their carriers' whilst our are being commissioned, mind we did agree this pre the Brexit vote so sounds a real good plan now.

    Imagine having to tell Vlad you ****ed one of his warplanes into the sea 'but it's ok, I ejected and survived'.

    minimum radar signature at its best ,almost nil thanks to my attention to the stealth inspired design,no heat source omitted from the propulsion unit 100% clear as the person walks along the bottom.
    Do not be fooled by the board on top its used by the short take off attack moorhen.
