RAN LHDs December 2021

Better pics than in my workbench, as promised.

The design is adapted from the Spanish Navy Juan Carlos though there is no plan yet to operate fixed-wing aircraft from the RAN ships. They have exercised with US V-22 Ospreys on deck.

Cheers,

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing
