I found this info about the pilot via Google;
Nigel Grier Rees, at the age of eleven won a scholarship to Dartmouth Royal Naval College. When on the 'HMS Devonshire' as trainee officer, he won the Queen's sword for the student with most academic and officer like qualities. When Prince Philip arrived to present Nigel with the Queen's sword, HRH asked Nigel to act as his page at the Coronation. In 1953, Nigel co-presented with Richard Dimbleby a programme on the BBC from Nelson's Museum - a case of 'Nelson knew my 3rd great grandfather'. He rose to the rank of Commander for Air, having been Squadron Leader in the Air Branch and also trained the Black Arrows Display team.

There are some photos of him on HMS Eagle in 1966 on this site;
On the flight deck (you'll need to scroll through the photos (scroll right about 20 times), but it's a good site with lots of interesting photos and information).
