I can remember the Type 42 and also the type 22 Amazon class (that didn't perform too well). Then there was the older Leander class and possibly still a couple of County class destroyers and maybe the first of the type 23 Broadswords.

After that there was Invincible & Ark Royal, Fearless the landing ship and good old Endurance IIRC.

Hermes and Ark Royal wasn't it? Thought Invincible was in for refit.

I think we're both wrong!

It was Hermes - the converted fixed wing carrier - and Invincible.

Not certain if Ark Royal was completed by then.

Went for tea with the bird at 'The Cow & Calf' just outside Ilkley tonight.

Duck and Liver paté starter followed by a mixed grill.

She had Camenbert followed by stuffed Pork.

It was bloody brilliant. The mixed grill was massive (Steak, lamb chop, gammon, sausage, black pudding & white pudding.).

If I eat again before Wednesday I will be suprised.

Did she have pork in cider?

Sage & Onions, wrapped in Pancetta, I think.

She enjoyed it very much.
