Great pictures to be had looking at HMS Ark Royal in a Turkish scrapyard The story relates how its going to become tin cans and razor blades. Apparently the name HMS Ark Royal Dates back to the first ship of that name in 1587 which helped Walter Raleigh repel the Spanish Armada. The replacement for the Navy will be called HMS Prince of Wales. Lets hope that one doesn't follow its predecessors fate back in December 1941.

Strange noises in her head alerted a young woman from Derby that something was not right and on investigation it tuned out to be flesh eating maggots!

Enjoy the day
