All 3 Invincible class carriers together at sea. Possibly the only time this has happened. I think this is 1989 just after Invincibles's refit. HMS Invincible (R05) is closest, then HMS Illustrious (R06) and then HMS Ark Royal (R07). Generally, two were active while one was in maintenance.

Not a real aircraft-carrier, but a very nice model. I really like the air group of Q-5 & JJ-6.
