Thank you Dave, I had already found your website.

Extremely informative.

Any idea what the SNB-5’s were doing on board?

Unfortunately I didn’t photos of the two SNB-5’s that were on the deck. I had assumed that they were replacement aircraft for two of the three that were based at West Malling at that time. However I never did establish if that was the case!

Also, unfortunately, I didn’t get any photos of the 4 Skyraiders that were on board either! I seemed to have failed miserably!
