A Panther landing on Argus on 1 April 1921. Note the fore-and-aft arrester wires and the athwartships fences. The Panther carries a hydrovane under the nose to prevent nosing over when ditching. The cylinders under the wing roots are deflated flotation bags.

This view of a Parnall Panther shows the grapples fitted to the axle which were intended to engage with the fore-and-aft wires; a raised baffle behind the aircraft was one of several intended to retard the aircraft. A slightly-lowered lift formed a last ditch before the bows.

Регистрационный номер: N7453 Bristol-built Panther N7453 after a disagreement with the deck of Argus off Malta. Well portrayed here is the elevated pilot's position in the hump on top of the fuselage. Entry to the cockpit was gained through the cut-out in the wing centre section. A two-seater, the Panther was powered by a 230 h.p. Bentley B.R.2 rotary engine.

HMS 'Ditty Box' at sea with a Blackburn Blackburn landing on. The aircraft is just about to encounter the turbulence caused by the engine exhaust ports ejecting hot gasses just under the round-down. Palisades are raised to catch any aircraft which swung on touchdown. The lines of the merchantile hull betray Argus' origins.

Argus in the late 1920s with a Flycatcher landing on. The 'T' marks the position of the retractable navigation bridge which lay flush with the flightdeck while flying was in progress. The lines of the original merchantile hull can be clearly seen. Palisades line the slides of the flightdeck and a steam wind indicator is fitted in the bows to ensure that the ship is headed directly into wind while landing on aircraft.
