If this is true, this is the best use of an Aircraft Carrier for retirement IMO.

I wonder what small civil Aviation plane can take off of a ski ramp?

This story is BS.

See http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-hampshire-38224115.

Also, the entire concept is ludicrous.

This is bogus news. The decommissioned former British aircraft carrier HMS Illustrious has been transferred to Turkey and is currently moored at Aliaga, at a Turkish shipyard/recycling facility in Izmir awaiting its fate (either being dismantled for scrap or being modernized by the Turkish Navy to be used as a LHD until the commissioning of TCG Anadolu).

This should have raised a red flag or three.. HAHA

“This may cause some noise nuisance on Romany Road but most of the residents who live there are too deaf to notice.”

Of course but I wanted to support KamenRiderBlade's sarcastic response

Sucks that it isn't being used as a General Aviation airport.

Imagine the fun in landing a small cessna style plane on the flight deck.
