Evening Kris,
The carrier is part of the new Sea Hurricane package (seahurri.zip at avsim)
you'll also find 3Wire there too (3wire_1.0.zip)
Happy flying,
Carl

I'm not sure how to find the carrier per se, but if you go into Select A Flight, there should be 2 flights under "Sea Hurricane"

You can only find the carrier from the select a flight menu, can't select it as a start airfield in create a flight. Doin't know if it you can find it by starting at the airfield near Scapa Flow however.
Thanks for the comments chaps
