Respect devant le métier le mérite et l efficacite de nos pilotes

Beautiful in every way. 👏👏👏👏

Rumour has it the buccaneers had to climb in order to land

mon père , mon cousin ... formidable de les voir jeunes !

Post War Uk compound almost everything. In this case they jam lackluster RR Speys into their new F4s and inhibit the performance of the Phantom at higher altitudes.Lost your Freakin Empire deal with it.

She would have been pretty useful at the Falklands.

Z Grams for the RN as well apparently.

I was on HMCS Fraser the day Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, flew out on a Sea King To decommission the Ark Royal... flying her Royal Standard off the Sea King I will never forget it....somewhere in the North Sea.....This footage really shook me.....Thank you for posting it.

Even as a humble REM(A) on Buccs I could see that if the Ark had been in the Falklands we would have had no excorcettes being launched from the horizon as the trusty old gannet would have given us hundreds of miles of eyes and a phantom or two despatched before they got anywhere near us or anyone else in the fleet. The buccs could have done there low level thing and pasted the shite out of them, the sea kings could have done there anti sub thing, the wessex 7s doine there rescue thing. The harrier could do none of those roles.a big retrograde step going through deck cruiser. The Ark was incredible,took months to find your way around.can you beleave there was a chinese community who used to run the laundry as well as tailoring. 71 now and all a long time ago but what an experiance.

Love those british carriers. Much more beautiful than the current ones.

Great film footage. Amazing narration too like listening to a horse race but adds the tension.

Was that Fred Astaire with uniform?

Did the buccaneer just performed a wheelie??

J ai fais mon service à son bord

Britain was the first to build an aircraft carrier and is now the mother country of modern aircraft carriers. Without Britain, the aircraft carrier itself would have disappeared. I love Britain very much. I hope that the British Empire will one day become the world's strongest navy like it did in World War II. 🇬🇧❤❤❤korea

Is that Larry Sharma they mention right at the beginning ? What a good shipmate he was.

Jeez, I remember watching this very episode as a kid when it was on the telly.

British tech is so pathetic

Back when we had real aircraft carriers.

My Yankee heart goes out to you Men for sharing the load of protecting the free world. And y’all make it look really really good!

back in 1962 the Indian Navy should have acquired the HMS Ark Royal (R09) & HMS Eagle (R05) carriers . . . three second hand (ex-Royal Navy) Audacious class 36,820 ton (43,690 ton loaded) multi mission (CATOBAR) aircraft carrier powered by Rolls Royce MFT60 eNi-C (9,650 kWh) M-FEP system . . . an air arm made up of 21 naval carrier borne Hawker Sea Hawk F2 maritime multi role aerial interceptor & 5 - 8 carrier borne F-14B Tomcat (Block III) maritime multi role fighter interceptor . . . in addition to 3 carrier borne Fairey Gannet AS.2 maritime multi role ASW fighter bomber . . . internal weapons bay of the carrier borne Fairey Gannet AS.3 maritime multi role ASW fighter bomber can be armed with 2 - 3 AGM-109E Tomahawk (Block IV) active radar homing inertial guided air-to-surface land attack cruise missile & 4 Star Streak semi-active radar homing laser guided BVR air-to-air missiles . . . can also accommodate JDAM 1000 inertial/GPS homing air-to-ground guided munitions, depending on mission specific ordinance package . . .

in it's search for a carrier, in 1962 the Indian Navy should have acquired the second hand (ex-Royal Navy) Audacious class 36,820 ton (43,690 ton loaded) multi mission (CATOBAR) aircraft carrier powered by Rolls Royce MFT60 eNi-C (8,400 kWh) M-FEP system . . . air arm made up of 21 naval carrier borne Buccaneer Mk2 maritime multi role aerial interceptor & 8 carrier borne F-14D Tomcat (Block III) maritime multi role fighter interceptor . . . in addition to 3 carrier borne Fairey Gannet AS.3 maritime multi role ASW fighter bomber . . . internal weapons bay in the carrier borne Fairey Gannet AS.3 maritime multi role ASW fighter bomber can be armed with three AGM-109E Tomahawk (Block IV) active radar homing inertial guided air-to-surface land attack cruise missile & Star Streak semi-active radar homing laser guided BVR air-to-air missiles . . . can also accommodate JDAM 1000 inertial/GPS homing air-to-ground guided munitions, depending on mission specific ordinance package . . .

Superbe!

Gannets, Buccaneers and Phantoms (with the able assistance of Sea Kings and Wessexes) - this was the Royal Navy's air force. It boggles the mind to think what's become of that.

I have seen this video dozens of times, and each time I smile when the RAF pilot finally catches the wire. It certainly takes a lot of skill to land on a small flattop (compared to our US Navy carriers). Glad to see the RN back in the carrier game with their two new flattops.

My father was on the air arm and flew the Sea Vixen. He wanted me to follow him into the service, but unfortunately I am cross eyed.

'on the roger'.....

ถ้าเป็นฉันฉันจะไม่เอาเครื่องใหญ่เพราะเขามีมากอยู่แล้วทั้งซู 27 29

Good feedback from Flyco there. But i can see the advantages of Vtols when it comes to landings

The skill of those Royal Navy aviators, operating such large aircraft from a fairly small carrier, never ceases to impress.

Fuckin' Buccaneer... Doesn't get enough screen time. Especially on a carrier.

Brings back great memories of the time spent on 809 Buccaneer Squadron as a Grubber…..Certainly kept fit on the flight deck pushing the ladders with lashings,gust locks and other associated tie down equipment….But,what an experience….

👍👍👍👍👍

👍👍👍

My dad served on the Ark Royal at the same time we believe ❤

Even though I ended up joining the USAF instead of the RAF, this still makes me proud to be a Brit.

Why the fighter pilots do not wear a g-suit ?

This is taken from the excellent BBC TV programme "Sailor", I think? An absolutely brilliant documentary series.

Antenna

Remember doing a periphot under here when I served on British nukes great fun they never knew we were there till we sent a under water flare on to her deck lol

je fut mécanicien pont d'envol en 1975 - 76 , que de bons souvenirs

Anyone recall RoyalNavy Operation Safari in North Sea 1975? Any details on the loss of XV695?

This isn't a training film, it's a recruiting film! I can't resist watching every time it's here available: great tempo, great announcing, the unbeleivable squeeze of giant a/c on a Very Short deck, a classy Gannet, i could go on... It would B nice 2 C the new twins snap it up like this old FAA used 2

The Phantom F-4 was one of the first plastic scale model kits that I built, in & around 1980. I still have that completed kit along with a few other jet fighters that I also put together in that same time (MiG-25, F-14 & F-104).

Why is the yellow crane hanging out on the beginning of the flight deck, is the captain trying to catch an aircraft ?

Oooo6uooouoooooyooto use

Des PROS.RESPECT messieurs 👍👍👍

Still the best footage of any naval vessel. It doesn't matter how much Top Gun 1 or 2. This still rules.
