Adriandavies 0 #26 December 29, 2005 I was just going on the mock ups seen on the TV news. These looked like they had flat flight decks and had computer illustrations of jets taking off conventionally. Our current carriers do have ramps though. There is plenty of scope for the design to change between now and the ships being launched. The French are designing them but British shipyards will build our carriers.

Are you claiming that you wrote something funny? I didn't see a whole lot of "ROFL"s in response and it's been many hours now. Take a look at this, it relates to people who think they are funny....
