'Worse-for-wear' stowaway pigeon on the mend on HMS Prince of Wales
A stowaway pigeon has been discovered by crew hidden near the flight deck of the Royal Navy aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales.
The pigeon, who has been named Rex, is getting well looked after, according to a tweet from the HMS Prince Of Wales Twitter account, posted on Tuesday.
The tweet said: "The lads are taking good care of him and he's getting stronger by the day!
"He'll be back at flying stations before he knows it!"
HMS Prince of Wales has been taking part in a number of training exercises as she continues to work her way to becoming fully operational.
The Royal Navy is moving to get the second Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier fully operational and ready for deployment after the F-35B Lightning II first landed on the ship last June.
