Nice pic... here's a comparison to the CATOBAR variant (French CVF / PA2)... interesting to note that CVF won't have a full angle deck edge forward, which may be a problem for recovery of fast jets with longer runouts than UAVs.
Note - Drawing's scale is 1m = 4px. I've corrected the QE's proportions as its width was a little too narrow compared to actuals (the original picture must have been squished).
P.S. Thanks to Armen56 at www.air-defense.net/forum for the very rare scale drawing of CVF FR... I believe this has never before been published online!
