On the back of discussion of the Sea Vixen on the end of my Mosquito Museum post, I came across this gem of a video featuring HMS Hermes. The Royal Navy flying all British aircraft: Sea Vixen, Supermarine Scimitar, Fairey Gannet and the American/British Whirlwind helicopter. I became quite nostalgic as as a youngster I had the Airfix model of HMS Victorious which was the sister ship to the Hermes, and had the two jets on deck. I enjoyed the detail of the deck handling shown and the recovery of such big aircraft.
