    Thanks for that Bager1968. The USS Antietam was a guess hence the ‘possibly’.

    I also have this photo that i found on the Air Britain website and is credited to Andy Davey. It also is marked as being a Cutlass on Eagle, in 1955.
    As the markings tie in for both pics i can only assume they were taken at the same time.

    Anyway, be good to see some more examples or actual footage if JonL gets a result.

    I’d be surprised if it isn’t Eagle. James is just pulling your leg about the ‘E’.

    I have a pic of her with Wyverns and Seahawks ranged on her deck, taken by a crew member at the same time and marked 813 / 827, 1955 (Med).. and the three distinctive rounded viewing points, the masts and their positioning are the same as the pic above.

    Your welcome.
    Can’t remember where i unearthed it but as i understand it Eagle’s Wyverns were cross decking with the Cutlass’ home carrier, possibly the USS Antietam, in the Med during 1955.

    Must of been a fantastic sight.. and it looks like the entire crew has turned out to watch the spectacle.

    No your thinking of TF956.. an FB.11 that was abandoned and written off when its pilot was forced to bale out whilst displaying at Prestwick due to an undercarriage malfunction.

    .Its all easy to say what we could and couldn’t do, jets are very expensive to operate which is why we’ve seen them dwindle, i can sadly see the flying hunter population sadly declining due to operating costs, but still there is a healthy population, we have a lovely collection of de-Havilland’s in this country with classic flight and my beloved vampire preservation group, were a small group yet we achieve an awful lot. The gnat display team does a great job on the gnats and we of course have the sabre and countless jet provosts. Plus we have 3 airworthy meteors (2 in private hands) yes it would be fantastic to see more, but jets are so hugly expensive. I can’t see there being too many more appear on the scene and i just hope we keep what we have and also ensure the Canberra makes a return, as well as the sea vixen.

    Don’t forget the Navy Matt… RNHF Seahawk. 😉
