Hiller of 705 NAS at CU 1968
Sea Kings of 824 NAS fly past the last of the beautiful old 'open-bridge' Cavalier Class Destroyers in 1970. From Wikipedia
HMS Cavalier is a retired C-class destroyer of the Royal Navy. She was laid down by J. Samuel White and Company at East Cowes on 28 March 1943, launched on 7 April 1944, and commissioned on 22 November 1944.[1] She served in World War II and in various commissions in the Far East until she was decommissioned in 1972. After decommissioning she was preserved as a museum ship and currently resides at Chatham Historic Dockyard.[2]
When you lived on a 'real' carrier back in the '70s you had to put up with the occasional 'visitor'.
