In the late 60's, when HMS Eagle was moored in Plymouth awaiting conversion into razor blades, the Chipmunks from Roborough could occasionally be seen carrying out touch-and-goes. It was not long before Britannia Flight were made aware of Flag Officer Plymouth's displeasure and wires were strung across Eagle's flight deck to prevent the practice. Of course this is all hearsay, I never tried it myself
