This film was taken during the Buccaneer Mk2 Hot Weather Trials aboard the USS Lexington in 1965 in the Gulf of Mexico; it was taken in 8mm so it has its limitations. This short clip has been supplied by Terry Stow who was onboard as a member of 'C' Squadron (Boscombe Down). |

These two films were shot during 1967 aboard HMS Eagle which was part of Task Force 345 covering the withdrawal of forces from Aden. The other ships in the film may be Albion, Bulwark, Fearless, Intrepid and Phoebe. Personnel shown are mostly 800 Squadron. These replace the earlier film giving a larger screen area and improved image quality. |
