HMS Illustrious

[EGDR]

Was there still around 1130am, albeit a fair way out. Could only tell it was Illustrious after looking through my 300mm lens

Ridiculously heavy crop but here it is. One Merlin visible on the stern.

Been sent this much better pic by merlinhole taken by his brother to upload here.

just got back from going to see her at anchor first time eva and could be wrong but im sure i saw german lynx sqawking 0022 has anyone seen german lynx on HMS illustrious?

Yes, 83+24 was showing this afternoon. It's been around for the past couple of weeks - suspect there is a German Frigate or similar down there with it on the back.

The FGN Lynx,83+24 ,is off the FGS Lubeck currently undergoing FOST training at Plymouth.
There is also a Portuguese Navy Lynx ,19204, still around the area off the FRP d.Fransisco de Almeida, also FOST training.
