Carl, when they eventually scrapped the Ark Royal over here our last great carrier if you dont count the Hermes, virtually every sailor who had served on her managed to get a momento from the thing. Dont know who ended up with the Phantom fighters but good luck to em. I know we cannot turn every ship into a museum, but its a shame we cant, too much history dispears in the scrapyard.
