Drama Queen

With her attendant 'Air Wing' unusually in situ, HMS Queen Elizabeth gets ready to sail from Portsmouth on the evening tide

 

Her Air Wing is made up of RAF/RN F-35 Lightning II's, US Marine Corps F-35's and both HC.4 and HM.2 Leonardo Merlin helicopters

 

Sheltering from the drama of an unseasonal storm that passed over the UK, over the last three days she's also hosted both HM Queen Elizabeth II along with the UK Prime Minister

 

Along with a number of Royal Navy vessels and a US Guided Missile Destroyer, the USS The Sullivans, that make up the Task Force, she slipped away on a six month maiden voyage via the Suez Canal to the other side of the World
