McDonnell PH Phantoms onboard USS Saipan (CVL 48) circa 1948.

Also, saying “good morning” in three different places is a pain.

Fleet Air Arm is best air arm.

Great shot, but needs more Barracuda.

I’m digging that Firefly. Along with the Barracuda, two planes built in large numbers you rarely ever hear of, at least not on this side of the pond

Fairey definitely had some unique looking aircraft.

I guess that my photo was from the Royal Navy Historic Flight. Both the Sea Fury and Firefly were lost to accidents in 89 and 03 respectively. The RNHF shut down last year but the Swordfish found a new home and is still flying by the looks of it.
