Ahoy,shipmates and fish'eads,this'll really get the old blood pumping.
Footage from the halcyon days of the FAA when the right people were in the right

You'll be yelling for Scimitars,Sea Vixens et al once you've seen this lot..

In the air to ship shots,note the splash as the launching bridle hits
the sea after falling away from the aircraft's cat strops.
These were steel ropes,so you can imagine the cost to the taxpayer
as every launch meant the loss of a new bridle.
A virtual beer for anyone that can tell me the featured ships from the
deck code letters on the aircraft tails.
