Sea Vampire
My memories are those of flight deck work . On HMS Vengeance early 1948. We had a Sea Vampire on trials. I remember having to hold chocks under the undercart with an oppo as it was given a full engine run up from time to time......no ear protectors in those days, but just told if the noise was too extreme " Just scream or shout, no one will hear you but it will help with the noise !". If my memory serves me correct the aircraft was very useful helping to de ice the deck !. By the way I hope I`m not trespassing on this site as I`m not a pilot .
