Cheers guys.

Actually an HP kit and quite a nice one, but not cheap. I bought her as a companion to Aquila, my Italian carrier - they are pretty similair although Weser has quite a low freeboard as carriers go.

I took loads of photos of Weser and they all turned out rather blurred, these were about the best. I shall try again.

Cheers,

Hi Red,

Sorry for the delayed respone. I was off doing the reserve thing again.

The airwing is going to be CVW-15 1986-ish. I am putting 14 Tomcats, 12-14 Corsair IIs, 8 Intruders, 3 Prowlers, 6 Vikings, 3 Hawkeyes and 4-5 Sea Kings on her deck.

I still have to get CVW-11 done for Kitty Hawk though. As usuall, I am way behind on Airwings!
