How many Harrier Sqns had a night CVS capability for example? None.???
I seem to recall that our pilots on 3(F) Sqns were day and night CR? I would be surprised if those of 1(F) were not similarly qualified. We all certainly spent enough time on board, both squadrons completing multiple 3+ month deployments at sea!
For what it's worth, as a 'floating crab' I quite enjoyed my time at sea. My time as Flight Deck supervisor was one of the best I have ever had and would happily return if the chance was available. I would certainly fight for a go on a CVF with some Lightning IIs!
