Four unedited naval and naval air sequences.

I. MLS-CU as Supermarine Attacker, with undercarriage up, flies in to belly-land on flight deck - the aircraft takes the wire and is brought up steady, fire-fighting and crash crew running forward to assist the pilot.

MLS forward along the flight deck from position by recovery crane as Wyvern is catapulted off - second aircraft taxies up to the catapult. MSs as Wyvern is manhandled and unfolds wings - helicopter in the background. Various shots of aircraft being catapulted away.

Wyvern catapulted off - Sea Hawk parked at frame right. Series of shots of a single aircraft slowly flying past - at the end of the sequence, the camera pans to hold on radar array above island.
