Scrap metal from what was once the world's oldest-serving aircraft carrier -- and Britain's flagship during the 1982 Falklands war -- could be used to make motorbikes, the firm charged with breaking it down said Tuesday.
The Shree Ram Group at Asia's largest ship scrapyard in Alang, Gujarat state, said it had secured the giant vessel in an auction and would take up to a year to break down.
