Not strictly Lee but the carrier had ZM148 coded 014 Lightning 2, ZJ121/E Merlin HC4 and ZH826 Merlin HMA2 on deck most of today. Lee mustered G-BWXB T67M and G-LOTE PA28

OK chaps - just back from a Christmas pub crawl with a few ex MOD mates in Bath. Now it's a bit late tonight but I'm sure I read in one of the Red tops this morning that an F35 will be taking off from a carrier alongside in Pompey.
Well that'll be a first unless the Sea Harriers used to do it back in the day?
I'm old enough to remember Ark Royal (the original Rod Stewart 'Sailing'one) alongside at Pompey with Phantoms and Buccaneers on deck and I've never quite figured out why the RN didn't fly the jets off before docking in Pompey. Heyho the good old days!

Hi Bob
Thanks for the update, I did have a look on Friday when I was in the area, but it was very cold and blustery so I wasn't surprised to see empty decks on both Carriers.
Regards
John
