There seem to be a number of PPRuNers with links to the Albion, posted below for posterity:


HMS Albion 'at sea' in 1972 onto which PPRuNer John 'TipCap' Whale flew Wessex 'E' from RNAS Culdrose in 1967

On the Nostalgia Thread I've dropped a wee note about the late great Roi Wilson who was senior pilot with 848 Sqn from 1955-57 and who served as Air Commander aboard the Albion from 1966-68.

Did you also fly Wessex with Bristows and if so, do you happen to recall if the craft you flew were fitted with Ferranti SAS and again, if so, how did the equipment perform please? (This is for a write-up on the Ferranti site).

Finally, can anyone assist with the image below for which I have no details? Grazie Mille.


A Wessex flight 'somewhere' at 'sometime' !! Sorry, no info on this one.
