HISTORY

HMS Furious started life as a "Large Light Cruiser" and was completed with two 18 inch guns to use for shore bombardment in a proposed plan to attack Germany by launching a sea landing on the north German coast and attacking Berlin. This plan fizzled out and it was decided to try aviation experiments on her. This eventually led to the removal of the 18 inch guns with a takeoff deck forward of the bridge and a landing area aft of the funnel, these were connected by ramps.
Thoroughly modernised in the late 20's and again in the 30's she played an important role in Home waters and the Med during WW2.
Scrapped 1948.

She made three notable world first's;

The first ship to be completed with 18 inch guns.
The first carrier to perform deck landings as well as takeoff's.
The first night takeoffs and landings.

While not the first carrier built or the first ship to fly aircraft, she set the standard for every carrier of all nationalities that followed upto the present day.

THE MODEL

This multi-res model represents her as she was after completion in 1917 in Home Fleet Medium Grey. 
There are no arrestor cables.
The model is of accurate proportions and there isn't any problem taking off with a fully loaded aircraft of the period.


LANDING

Approach low and slow on the port side of the ship only.

1  Aim to be just below the main mast fighting top and with a speed of about 40 mph as you draw level with it.
2  As you pass the funnel cut the throttle.
3  As you come level with the bridge, pull up and slide to starboard.
4  You should now be in a stall dive heading for the deck with throttle on zero. Now pull back and gently land and put the parking brake on fast.
5  Pray.
