The One Show - Battle of the Atlantic
Excellent programme from the flight deck of HMS ILLUSTRIOUS, Thursday 9th May2013, commemorating the Battle of the Atlantic. Well worth an iPlayer re-run.
BZ to the aircrew for what looked like a sporty fly past in challenging conditions.

FNS ... Agree ... The Captain was up early this morning on BBC Breakfast News too ...
Clearly someone out in Grenada can't get the One Show on his TV ... only a matter of time before something appears here
Commander Ward's World
Seems someone doesn't like people providing direct hot links
So just Google Sharkey's World and go from there

FAA courage and skill
How fantastic to see the oldest flying aircraft on the MOD inventory battle with the strong winds of London. Just imagine what it must have been like to land a Swordfish on an Escort Carrier in the North Atlantic/Arctic!
Those guys were true heroes.

The Merlin looked like it was enjoying itself landing on..... must have been enjoyable for the crew as for the transvestite...."do they do that when the ships moving too?" oh my 
do they do that when the ships moving too?" oh my
The subject matter was excellent - Great to see `Winkle` is still sharp as a tack! 
. Merlin and Swordfish crews working exceedingly hard.....
However... A very poor and unprofessional performance by the show presenters (Except DS) and the producers, I guess.

Idiot presenters. They read from a script, and have scant appreciation of subject knowledge. Applicable to most under-45's these days it seems; including Vine and his ilk. Rant about everything, know little. Their coverage of the Queen's celebratory activities was abysmal; particularly by that silly-grinning Matt chappy! Not a patch on their predecessors. But, sign of the present generation - all digital, no brain.

Mess Kit for Captains and above, also known as lightening rig. I'm presuming it was a Mess Jacket, but with tails, and the trousers had 1 1/2 inch wide stripes of gold braid running down the outer seam?
