This is really good! The Phantom looked the best in the Royal Navy paint scheme
Nice to see we once had a navy. Remember the ark from Gibraltar.
Opening shot looks like sailing out of Valetta grand harbour.
At 2:37 reminds me of opening credits of The Love Boat 😂
Three miles of sausages?? Surely not. But then I worked it out. That's just one sausage a day for each of the crew for just 19 days.
Excellent, Very many thanks for all these new films. I was on the Odin....(thanks for the odin film ) but i was also on HMS Herald in 1978 doing a survey in Ghana NW Africa. Whilst there we were filmed for a RN Survey film....hoping this comes up sometime amongst your "new" films .....Cheers Mike Ilett ( BOB / SKIPPY )
Glad you like them Mike, I'm sure we have more that you will enjoy, all the very best
@@Hants_PrintsRussian submarines never followed HMS Ark Royal, Eagle or Hermes because they were too small and insignificant. They were after bigger game: the American supercarriers.
Wooden steering wheel 😮
Compared to today ,might as well been firing cannon balls 😅
"3 miles of sausages". :)
I notice @4:47 that the Gannet's strop goes into the water and is not retained like the Phantom and Buccaneer ones. Also, I wonder if this was the cruise when Ark Royal collided with a Soviet ship? @14:05 you see Raymond Lygo who was her captain from 1969-71.
very observant 👍🏻
At one point they all did, until strop catchers were fitted, and I think it depended on which catapult launched which aircraft type (waist cat/bow cat). I'm sure the waist cat would return the strop to the launch position, as part of the pre-launch checks included the tensioning of the wire strop and an attached nylon bridle which retained the strop on a rear part of the catapult shuttle as the aircraft dropped it.
Fun Fact: _Ark Royal dropped anchor somewhere around Gibraltar, and when they brought it back in it had a complete overhand knot in the cable._
And teleprinters ,noisey things 😅
Royal Navy officers have always looked like they belong on The Love Boat.
😂😂😂😂
