Thanks Hump - makes my heart go thumpetty thump.
Nice pics MAX. Keep them coming. Did a cruise on ESSEX winter of 61/62, and a joint exercise called LIMEJUG II with the RCAF and the Royal British Navy. HMS Finnisterre, HMS Exmouth, HMS Bermuda are the one's I remember. Love those 1960's planes. We were flying off A4-D's, real hot rods, piloted by a marine unit VA-81. They were off loaded to an RAF base for temporary training duty for a few days, Dec of 1961.
