HMS Illustrious (R06) Royal Navy Invincible Class Aircraft Carrier returns from Exercise Joint Warrior on the 16th October 2009, coming into Faslane, Scotland, at sunset in a starboard view. This atmospheric Royal Navy photo print captures the famous Invincible Class Aircraft Carrier entering Faslane after Exercise Joint Warrior, with the evening light adding depth and character to the scene. With its Scottish naval setting, operational exercise connection and strong starboard profile, this image makes a distinctive piece of military wall art, British maritime wall decor, naval history display or warship print for collectors and enthusiasts.
HMS Illustrious (R06) was commissioned on 20th June 1982 at sea en route to Portsmouth Dockyard to take on board extra stores and crew. She arrived in the Falklands to relieve HMS Invincible (R05) on 28th August 1982 in a steam past. Returning to the United Kingdom, she was not formally commissioned into the fleet until 20th March 1983. After 32 years of service, the oldest ship in the Royal Navy's active fleet was formally decommissioned on 28th August 2014, although she would not be replaced until HMS Queen Elizabeth was commissioned in 2017.
This military wall art photo print is ideal for Royal Navy veterans, serving personnel, Invincible Class Aircraft Carrier enthusiasts, Falklands era collectors and admirers of British maritime wall decor.
