It will give her a good work up journeying to the USofA . Plenty of time to practice their drills

Great video of HMS QE sailing from Portsmouth after a brief stop. She has a number of F35s on the flight deck.

No but eighty years ago we had Squadrons of inflatable aircraft strung around the country, which the American A/F seem to have 'reinvented'
