Avenger ('4P') of 832 squadron suffered a broken tail
wheel after a heavy landing. |
 |
|
Having just safely landed on this Avenger has hydraulically
folded its wings and is paring to taxi forward to the
aircraft parking area so that the barriers can be raised to
allow the second aircraft in the circuit can land on. |
 |
|
One of 632 squadron's four Wildcat fighters bounces on
landing and probably suffered damage to its propeller from
'pecking' the deck.

Another Wildcat successfully catches the arrestor wire . |
