HMS Hermes 1960

[Seaking]

I was sent this today, a really nice Brit video, showing the Schimitar and then the "new" Sea Vixen.
A worthwhile look for those interested. Nice shots of the Gannet as well. Enjoy

Thanks for the heads-up Seaking! Watched the video twice so I wouldn't miss anything.

A beaut of a video. Also probably the first and last time we'll hear the AEW Gannet and a 'ballet dancer's grace' referred to in the same sentence! Well, maybe a heavily pregnant ballet dancer.

I enjoyed watching that film, about 9 minutes in there is a brief glimpse of a Skyraider taxying. Were they embarked at the same time as the AEW Gannets or is it just a stray clip incorporated into the main film?

Brilliant!

I particularly like the after-ops drinks, complete with full bling outfits. No-one does (should that be did?) it like the RN!!!

Thought I saw a Dave B doppelganger in there as well at one point ;-)

Lovely!

It just won't be the same if we ever get F-35Bs on whatever carriers we have...

What a fabulous clip! Definitely a keeper...It is also very sharp on my machine

When an aircraft is launched from the catapult I've noticed a splash in the water just below the aircraft. Does anyone know what is causing the splashes? Just curious.

Isn't there a wire or something from the launch that drops into the water :think:
