HMS Invincible scrapyard

Shot of HMS Invincible being scrapped:

So the end of an era, the veteran ship is no more. I'm surprised the breaking happened overseas, as the UK has some scrap specialism (thinking of the French carrier that was scrapped here):

Maybe we only specialise in the more toxic jobs, Invincible probably would not have had too much of that.
