Off topicish...

For those interested....

Narrative:
Deliberately dropped into the English Channel off HMS Ark Royal during the making of a Royal Navy safety film about the accidental loss of XT269 (031/R) from Ark Royal 15/2/1972 (which see). The safety training film re-staged the accident, and showed what to do to prevent it happening again

The group of spectators in the background are all busy writing their captions for the Capcom.

Except for the ratings in the stern who are taking bets on who will win the tug-o-war.
