Nice picture Kbrockman but the date is actually 1966. The RN carrier is Victorious operating in the Far East with a Crusader and Skyhawks from the USS Oriskany clearly taking the opportunity to cross deck with another SEATO Nation. The Buccaneer S2's of 801 Naval Air Squadron had just been introduced to service in the initial Dark Sea Grey and White paint job.

It's still hard to believe that Vic got chopped not too long after with the run down of the carrier force.
