Hi Guys,

I'm currently on holiday in Mullion Cornwall just 5 minutes from RNAS Culdrose home of the Merlin squadron to be based on HMS Queen Elizabeth. Every day they are out practicing in the Merlins . They have 4 F35 dummy aircraft in the hangars and have a flight deck made ready for flight deck training.

I also went to Falmouth which is home to the Tide class Ships which support HMS Queen Elizabeth. I'm hoping to get some pictures of Tidespring which is in the Harbour at the moment.

Here are some pics of The Merlins Mk2s.

Chris

Great pics Chris BigGrin I stopped in a hotel on the edge of Helston a few years back and had a great view of Culdrose, a nice part of the world.
