Carriers, Dreadnoughts, old aircraft

Is the 'carrier the 1913 Beardmore proposal, with two islands and a bridge-deck over the top? If so, it's the start of the train of development which led to _Argus_ (and IIRC Murray Seuter was involved in the 1913 concept too) The carrier is HMS Hibernia. The first lot of pix are being posted as I type. I also found several pix for submariners, some old naval planes and other odds and ends.

I realise Hib was a battleship, but it's much more fun to wind people up about aircraft carriers at the moment I saw your pics. I've only done the 1st volume of a 2 volume encyclopedia, there will be more to come, but not right away. I realise the files are large (BMP), but I'd already had some requests to send BMPs for better resolution so people could save them and scale them to their own liking. Sorry to inconvenience those who'd prefer smaller JPGs, but the loss of resolution would have disappointed others. It's a no-win situation. It's a pain for me as well - this connection is pay as you go and BMPs cost me more to upload (and I didn't fancy emailing BMPs out on an individual basis) -- Sarah H http://www.shartwell.freeserve.co.uk...endment404.htm USA Patriot Act - First Amendment Not Found |
