Here is a recording of the programme by the BBC in May 1993 to mark the fiftieth anniversary.
A lot of content was squeezed into approximately forty five minutes. It included a sail past by Royal Navy, Commonwealth, and international warships and merchant vessels. The frigate HMS
Cornwall acted as the flagship in the place of HMS
Ark Royal due to operations in the Adriatic
, the NATO Standing Force Atlantic was absent for the same reason. Nevertheless there were were ships from the United States, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, and Russia
The flypast of naval/maritime aircraft was led by RN Sea Harriers, RAF Buccaneers, and RAF Nimrods. There was Norwegian P-3 Orion and a number of historic aircraft. A BBMF represented the Seafire and presumably other wartime FAA fighters. RN Lynx and Ssa Kings provided a finale.
The participation of the Royal Artillery band in the march past was a reminder of the Royal Artillery Maritime Regiment. The memorial services were covered, and the programme found time to mention many of the key technologies, the role of the Liverpool HQ, and the role of ports and dockyards.
