Thumbs up

Blender,

Great pics, I had no idea Mexico was so picturesque. Must put it on the "to visit" list

While we're in the holiday mode, here's a few shots from way back when, trip down memory lane:

A Gannet ASW ready to launch from Ark Royal's bow cat, with the SAR flight Wessex 1 in planeguard:



We would get tasked with odd jobs when not flying: painting the flight deck on Eagle on a sunny day



Not the best shot, but a combined flypast taken from a Sea King: Wessex HAS1, HAS3 and a Wasp



I had a compressor failed (only 230 hrs TT) on short finals, and had to get a lift home:



Many years ago, the NSCA had a huge fleet of Bells: some of them here at an Emergency Services show:



The tie downs needed to hold a Sea King on a flight deck:



This Sea Sprite visited Ark in 1973: probably one of the airframes that the RAN have just bought
