The view from FLYCO aboard HMS Queen Elizabeth....The only publicly acknowledged armour aboard her is the 4 cm ballistic armoured glass fitted, which is made to withstand the full impact of a rotating Chinook helicopter rotor blade.

Re: RN Aircraft Carriers: HMS Queen Elizabeth
Today on the Quarterdeck of HMS QNLZ, a Memorial to 820 Naval Air Squadron’s Role in the Battle of Sparivento was held onboard and the ashes of Lieutenant George Gibb Royal Navy Volunteer Reserves, a Swordfish Veteran, were committed to the sea.

Sub Lieutenant ‘AJ’ Walker met Veteran Lieutenant George Gibb back in 2019. Thought to be one of the last surviving pilots of the Fairey Swordfish, a basic torpedo bomber biplane, used by the Fleet Air Arm during WWII. Despite the 70+ year age gap the two became friends.
