Matt , my first trip to Sydney , heading down the hill from Kings Cross .. Oooh , aircraft carrier :icon_lol: .. had a feller with what looked like a SLR yell out YOU , he was still was couple hundred feet away , in being young and impetuous my feet told me i should not be here :running:like the wind .

1981 , two years later , i saw her getting towed out to be bouyed on the other side off the harbour before going to the breakers .

What i should have done is get myself captured , maybe could have scored a personal tour of HMAS Melbourne :kilroy: <input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden">

I may not have posted much lately but I am forever watching.
Both the Sea Fury and the real HMAS Melbourne for FSX are passions of mine.
Bring then on.

OK you're gonna have to explain this statement to me because The US hasn't shared fleet carriers with anybody let alone a CVN. That ship was built for the Royal Navy by Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast and has boilers not reactors.

I am with you, mate; if we get the Bonaventure we get the Melbourne as well.
They were sister ships, so to speak and just by coincidence, Melbourne's number was R21 and the Bon's was 22.
