The BBC Radio 5 Live (formerly known as Radio 2, and before that, the Light Program!) have been comparing HMS Queen Elizabeth all day to various things to give an impression of her size. Three football fields seemed to be the most frequent, but they tried Olympic swimming pools and a few others. I never heard how many Nelson's columns tall she is, or how many London buses they could fit in a funnel. Too bad the old Eagle comic isn't around these days to show how she works in one of their centrepiece cutaway illustrations.
Roy.
