Thanks Robert.
Mike, you are possibly already aware of this, but there is an excellent account of the loss of HMS Courageous, and later, the crippling attack on HMS Illustrious near Malta in ‘To War in a Stringbag’ by Commander Charles Lamb. The descriptions give some insight into below-deck (hanger) arrangements, and is useful in seeing the strengths and weaknesses of the British design. It is also a very good read,and might help illuminate the subject better.
Regards,
Bruce
