A BBC researcher for 'The One Show' is desperately seeking a large Hms Ark Royal model (RO7) as per that being decomissioned.

Filming for the show is on Monday 6th June which will be about the future of Hms Ark Royal now that she has been decommissioned.

They will be interviewing an ex serviceman, ex commander and some of the bidders looking to buy her for various projects.

It would be enormously useful for Monday's shoot if they could borrow a model of the ship to use on camera as a prop during discussions, they are also willing to pay a reasonable fee for use of the model for the day.

Anyone who might be able to assist, PM me and I'll pass on the contact info.
