What do I have on this topic currently:
1) George Thurston's designs published in 1923 and 1926 Brassey's Naval Annual (source: https://stefsap.wordpress.com/2016/05/26/royal-navys-hybrid-bbcv-designs-by-thurston/ )
2) A few proposals to build such warships dated 1940-1942 (found here: https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/th...were-designs-and-proposals.35123/#post-412423 . Yes, I too was surprised to find it in a French-centered thread). Alas, not much info here.
3) Lion-class conversion (probably a misinterpretation of one of the proposals above). Again, not much info about this (aside from (probably somewhat speculative) characteristics from Tzoli's mega-table).
4) This bit of weirdness from Popular Mechanics: https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/1943-british-battleship-aircraft-carrier-concept.33470/
Now, I'm looking for some more information about proposals mentioned in French carrier thread (point 2 in my list), and Lion-class conversion (if it was, indeed, a separate project). I will be very grateful if someone would help me with these. And of course, if you know about projects or proposals not present in my list, feel free to post them here.
