anybody got money for their own private floating airport
Apparantly ARK Royal been put up for auction.
Maybe turn it into one big private floating resident or what about turning it into floating hotel.
Seriously what safeguards in place that its not sold and turnded against us. I would assume this stupid government made sure certain eliments wont get there dirty grubby hands on the ship.
Maybe Gadaffe put in a bid already

Arms exports are subject to Government control. I don't think you need to worry.
Besides, our shores are very well defended and it's not as if an aircraft carrier can sneak up on you, is it.

Re: anybody got money for their own private floating airport
Hmmm. Wonder what the running costs per mile would add up to?
