Photograph of Spitfire and Hurricane below deck?

About a year ago I came across a photo on the Net of Spitfires and Hurricanes apparently below deck in an aircraft carrier.

Can anyone point me towards what might be this photo, I have been unsuccessful in re-finding it.

Reviving a zombie thread because my mystery photograph has been found! All things come to those that wait…?

The Haynes Hawker Hurricane Manual has a copy of the photograph I was looking for showing Hurricanes and a Spitfire below deck on HMS Argus. Quite an interesting photograph in my mind.

Not that this additional information has helped me locate a copy on the net though, I still haven’t been able to use the elusive combination of search terms which will help me re-locate it.

Still, finding it in the Haynes book was a nice surprise.

Thanks zTango for posting the link to the site above, it does have lots of interesting photographs.
