Taken in April 1945 during Smiter's deck landing training activities in the Firth of Forth, this view of the elevator area shows Corsairs, Barracudas and a Wildcat on deck. Note the cropped wingtips on the Corsairs to fit RN hangars.

A deckload of Corsairs being ferried to Britain in June 1944, a sight which must have given confidence to the rest of the convoy until they realised that not one of them was moving. Engines, gunports, air intakes and cockpits have been sealed with waterproof covers and sealing tape.

Corsairs of No.1841 Squadron take-off for Machrihanish as Smiter approaches the Clyde and uses her flight deck for the first time for flying-off aircraft. Despite appearances, Smiter has not caught fire with the excitement of the occasion but having no funnel, discharged fumes and smoke from the engine from vents.

Lulsgate Bottom's private Luftwaffe 4D+DL seen after renumbering EE205. From the photograph, it is obvious that black crosses have been painted over the roundels, probably so that EE205 could appear in a film. The starter trolly was not captured at the same time so cannot be the reason why the Ju 88 ran out of fuel halfway home

a Nimrod of No.203 Squadron over Valetta, Malta.

The demands of the bomber training programme could not afford to stop for snow. Halifax III OO-M of No.1663 HCU is dug out for the day's training schedule at Rufforth.

Four of No.210 Squadron's Singapores are afloat with a Stranraer of No.228 Squadron. In the background is the RAF floating dock with a fifth Singapore inboard. In the foreground are four more Singapores, two without their outer wing panels, and a hangar under construction. The slipway can be seen on the left with the platform at the water's edge. From the number of people visible, we would guess that the photograph was taken during the Empire Air Day display which most RAF stations, and some civil airports, arranged in May each year.

The RAF Museum photo (P.1574) shows No.812 Squadron on parade at Hal Far. S1569 in the foreground is a Baffin, as are the others strewn around and if there is a certain lack of spick and polish, then one could blame the gale which struck Malta on the night of 23/24 November, 1936

Pier recognition experts will doubtless identify immediately the noble structure in the background of this evocative photograph kindly supplied by John Bagley. The Fairey IIIF is on the beach at Ventnor, Isle of Wight, and from the letter on the fin appears to be from the School of Naval Cooperation at Lee-on-Solent
