Aircraft on an RN carrier deck

This photo was taken on board a Royal Navy carrier, I think in the early 1950s.
My father has said that he is one of the figures in the foreground. Unfortunately he is not able to tell me when and on which ship it was taken, or what the aircraft are.
Judging from his log books, I think these are Firebrand 5s of 827 Squadron FAA, possibly on HMS Eagle

Can anyone firmly identify the aircraft type for me, please?
And a good guess at the actual ship would be nice too

Thanks
