I wonder if this date is a typo in the Fleet Air Arm Fixed-Wing Aircraft Since 1946?? As the date should clearly be 20/7/1947 from both sources: The album and the Ships Log….

methinks I should post a link on AB-IX

Update:

Flood, I think you have a typo re: 30/7/1947 the FAA book says 20/7/1947

Certainly my typo – you should have seen my original spelling of Firefly… I blame fat fingers.
