Shadow the Aircraft Carrier [14] [Temporary Gallery]

⁠
The Aircraft carrier is called “Shadow”. The ship was heading to Berwick-Upon-Tweed in 2 days time, when it arrives at Spittal it will stop in front of the crowd that had gathered on the beach.
There was posters all over the town telling people that there was going to be a celebration in 2 days time to celebrate the end of the war. The day had finally arrived for the big celebrations to begin, there was lots of families and friends gathered on the beach waiting for the ship to arrive.
All of a sudden we could see the flags on top of the ship slowly coming along the pier next to the lighthouse suddenly the ship stopped it was stuck on a sand bank as the tide was out.
A few hours later when the tide started to slowly rise the ship made its final small journey to the Spittal beach. Then the ship opened the big door and all the injured soldiers began to step on the sand looking for their family members.
After they were reunited with family and friends the soldiers cleaned the Aircraft carrier and fixing it as well. In the morning the ship looked brand new, so the soldiers took their families on the ship and sailed to their destinations on the way home.
“Shadow” was upgraded to 6 layers of metal and there was 10 extra canons also upgraded with lots of fire power and lots of ammunition, then “Shadow” turned 60 years old!
Then one soldier found the knight’s helmet under one set and a pot in a museum it is still in the museum today for people to go and look at.
