Hello all

My mother just gave these to me from my late father's collection. Che
thinks (but is not 100% sure) that they were taken on the carrier HMS
Warrior during the Korean War evacuation.

All comments welcomed. Hope you enjoy.

Thank you for the pictures.

Interesting to see that in picture 3 (Firefly) the props are bent back
(aircraft was travelling forwards) but in pictures 6 and 7 the props are
bent forwards (presumably the aircraft was travelling backwards).

I assume that in the case of pictures 6 and 7 (Sea Fury) the aircraft spun
around on landing and lost part of the undercarriage letting the prop blades
touch deck as it came to a halt backwards, though I could be wrong.
