The photo of Victorious she’s her with Buccaneer S1s at the fore end of the flight deck - Not sea trials in 1958!!! More like 1961 when fully operational.

ReplyDeleteThat date came from a previous comment so thanks for the correction. I remember Victorious arriving in Singapore early 60's and she was reputed to have had a recent refit.
