Apparently only 7 of the 70 T's built were T-1's, and some of these may have been updated to T-2 spec. Not sure how reliable this info is.

Not sure how reliable this info is? Best not to quote it then. He's just as capable of googling or obtaining a decent book as you are.

I suggested one such book back in post #2.

Good morning Peter,

thanks for your answer.
When they deleted the arrestor hook, did they abandon the idea of using the T on a carrier ?

Have a nice Friday,

Michael

I suggest that you google “Graf Zeppelin” and “carrier”, if you are interested in German carrier plans.

I'm interested in Peter's opinion.

That's the M O D E R A T O R you're talking to.
It's never too late to start actually respecting that fact. If it's beyond you, post elsewhere.

So am I but it doesn’t stop me doing my own research.

All questions made here are in fact answered in the book suggested by Nick.
It's a far better option than googling and hear say.

Good afternoon Peter, Leo, Skyraider & Francis,

thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge.
So far, this has been everything I wanted to know.

Have a nice weekend,

Michael

Three years, 800+ posts and not one single instance of own research (quoting John Weal really doesn't count) or even helping another forum user. That has GOT to be a record for 12 O'Clock High...
