Letter: Carrier danger

The picture accompanying your article on the possible cancellation of the aircraft carrier project (9 September) may be sadly prophetic in a way the artist never intended.

The carrier is on course to run aground on Beamer Rock immediately after passing under the Forth Road Bridge. Also the aircraft is taking off to a sticky end; it is obviously about to collide with the suspension wires of the bridge.
