Looks like we are about to get a new 'SUPER DOOPER' Aircraft Carrier... FOR FREE!   :)
(If only we had stuff to put on it... will probably melt first!)   ;D

What the report DOES NOT MENTION is 'WHY' the RAF were so interested in close examination of the 'Tunnels'... watching for U Boats, maybe?   ;)

Mix in sawdust  - stops the melt.

A perfect base for our Lancasters.

Don't mock. There was, reportedly, a time a few years back when the Memorial Flight's Spitfire and Hurricane were the UK's only operational fighter aircraft.

Never in the field of human conflict have so many been defended by so few :)
