Very interesting post on the Model Boat Mayhem site about German Catapult ships.

I was unaware that they existed, might make a good modelling project.

I must admit I was unaware that these float plane tenders were ever used during WW2, you live and learn .

Colin, Thanks for the thought. Had a quick look. Hmm.. just a freighter with a catapult on the end. A bit like a MAC catapult ship..only fitring bigger aircraft!

However, I could see this with the catapult firing off balsa gliders…now theres a thing…or Hurricane gliders are readily avaible.

Ashley, with your expertise and ingenuity I was expecting Eurofighters or B52s at least…..

I have a bit of a hankering for a new QE carrier. Aircraft the real obstacle.
