Re: RN Fleet Air Arm: General
While serving on HMS Ark Royal 1964-7 I saved several photos of the aircraft carried during that commission, which were Scimitar, Sea Vixen, Gannet fixed wing aircraft and Wessex Whirlwind helicopters.

My friend Billy Brettle was a Leading Stoker Search And Rescue diver on the 1971 Commission of Ark Royal and these are some of his aircraft related photos

Re: RN Fleet Air Arm: General
Jim, If you have no objection I will post the photos I have of the FLYEX's on voyage from Freemantle north during last week December 1965. I think they will compliment yours nicely.jbryce1437 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 17, 2018 5:25 pm While serving on HMS Ark Royal 1964-7 I saved several photos of the aircraft carried during that commission, which were Scimitar, Sea Vixen, Gannet fixed wing aircraft and Wessex Whirlwind helicopters.
