On the day of the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, we Brigadiers would like to add our condolences and pay our respects to our late Monarch. Because of the bank holiday occasioned by the funeral we’ll be delaying the reopening of the website until this evening. We’ll be back at the workshop tomorrow (Tuesday) rather than today as originally planned.<\/p>\n

We’d also like to pay our own very small tribute by renaming the largest of our British spaceships, the Leviathan class carrier, which will now be know as the Queen Elizabeth II class. We must thank one of our New Zealand customers, Phil Lane, for the original idea.<\/p>\n
