conversations.value: Fleet Air Arm Carrier War
  The Blackburn Skua was slightly more successful than the turret fitted Roc fighter as it was designed and built from the outset as a fighter bomber. It was a Skua that claimed the honour of shooting down the Fleet Air Arm's first victory in WW2, a Dornier flying boat. (Will Blunt Collection)
  The Blackburn Roc was an attempt by the Admiralty to introduce a turret fighter to the FAA. However the Roc was too slow and the turret fighter concept suffered from an inability to track and predict the actual and potential positions of a target. (BBA Collection)
  While the crew aboard the aircraft carriers were entirely male it was not unusual to see females engaged in aircraft work. Here a group Wrens prepare to load a torpedo under the fuselage of a Swordfish. (NARA)
  Powered by early versions of the Merlin engine, the Fairey Fulmar could best be described as a workmanlike machine. Based on the earlier Battle bomber this multiplace fighter featured good range and heavy firepower courtesy of the eight Browning machine guns mounted in the wings however it was let down by its limited top Speed. (Will Blunt Collection)
  Caught posing in front of their Hurricane these pilots and their aircraft were based aboard a MAC ship involved in defending convoys. Fortunately this situation did not last long given the danger although this limited defence was effective. (Rick Harding Collection)

conversations.value: Originally built as a Sea King HAS.1 XV704 183-L would later be converted to AEW2 standard in July 1982, although it would be lost during a fatal collision with another Sea King XV650 in March 2003. (Trevor Jones collection)
  The Westland Commando was also used in Bosnia and other regions of the disintegrated Yugoslav republic, for this purpose the aircraft had a disruptive white pattern applied over the basic green finish with SFOR (NATO Stabilisation Force) titles. (Trevor Jones collection)
  Although the Royal Navy was not heavily involved in Granby/Desert Storm the Westland Commando version of the Sea King was used extensively to fly personnel and stores around Saudi Arabia. (Bob Archer collection)
  Westland Sea King HAS.6 ZA133 013 assigned to No.771 NAS takes off while another from the same units taxies out behind it. (NARA)
  Combat operations rarely stopped for such minor inconveniences such as snow. Soon the carrier's crew will turn too to clear the flight deck and prepare the aircraft for flight. Some of the later will include the judicious use of hot air to warm the airframe up and prevent fluid leaks caused by seal contraction. (FAAM Yeovilton)

conversations.value: One of the most unusual and under rated aircraft used by the FAA was the Westland Wyvern. Powered by a turboprop driving a contra rotating propeller assembly, the Wyvern was a very effective ground attacker. (BBA Collection)
  Bombs: 1 × 1,850 lb (840 kg) torpedo, 16 × under wing rockets or up to 3,000 lb (1,364 kg) of bombs or 1 × Mk-15/17 torpedo or sea mine
  The Wessex followed the Whirlwind into Royal Navy service and was utilised in many roles. This aircraft was used for transporting troops, of note is the rocket pod mounted on the undercarriage leg. (John Ryan Collection)
  Bombs: 2 × Mk 44/46 torpedoes or 2 × Mk 44 depth charges or 4 × SS-11 replaced by 2 × AS.12 missiles.
  Due to be fully replaced by the Merlin, the Sea King first entered service in the A/S role, here an early model drops a homing torpedo. (BBA Collection)
