Despite the fact that I have Lynxes and AW101s flying overhead on a daily basis it always surprises me just how big helicopters are compared to cars. And it's not as if Land Rovers are particularly small as cars goes.

Nice ship! But why they have a structure on the rear of the flight deck?

She wasn't used as a carrier anymore, rather she was a maintenance ship, so having extra workshops was more important than having a clear deck.

That means Ocean is no longer a carrier, but more like a LPH?

Nice ones Cyril

Not quite Canis,that was Persius,Pioneer and later Triumph.At the time of Suez Ocean and Thesus were made into makeshift commando carriers.between them they landed 45 commando RM.

Beautiful work on HMS Ocean, but there is some discrepancy between the top view and both side views. on the top view there are some lifeboats near the port-side edge which are not present in the side-views.

Bombhead, another flag issue. Canada didn't adopt the mapleleaf flag until 1964 and started using it in 1965. I think you should be using the Canadian red ensign.
