Some classic retro Royal Navy Blue Water Ops

In between my builds on the Blue Water Ops (more of that later), I really enjoyed this clip of Royal Navy Phantoms and Buccaneers doing traps (and some bolters) aboard HMS Ark Royal in the 1970s.

The clip is courtesy of Jay on the Britmodeller Forum and the original footage is from a 1970's documentary series called 'Sailor'. Groundbreaking TV for it's day really. I think the series in full is now available on DVD and as a nipper, I seemed to recall it covered different stories aboard the 'Ark, not just the pilots.

All the best,
Dermot
