    It was reported a few years ago that the Ministry of Defence bought back HMS Ark Royal scrap parts to fix HMS Illustrious.

    SCRAPYARD parts from a 'destroyed' warship have been used to rebuild bits of the HMS Illustrious to save money, it was revealed.

    Moller of London & Hong Kong were the same. They had a few ships anchored out the back of Lan Tau island and if you needed any spares you went there and got them All spares were charged to the ship getting them and credited to the ship they came from. They had ships in lay up showing a handy profit.
