Thanks for your kind comment, feel free to fuck off else where and watch better quality shit by all means. Had you bothered to read the description you would see this is a dvd rip of a telecine cine to dvd from the 1980's from the late FDEO Peter Ritchie. It is the only surviving copy of this sound super8 cine, so do us all a favour and shut the fuck up. The quality of the content is what it is, a telelcine to dvd. The fact this video has had 12K views and only you found the time to write negative comments about it says more about you than the cine film. Have a nice day dick head.
@@Super8Rescue I think that the criticism, to which I join, is not because of the quality of the image, which is not so bad in reality, but because of the fact that the person who operated the camera was perhaps a ten-year-old boy who did nothing but play with the zoom like crazy.
Fantastic video and really good to see the Badgers (flight deck engineers) doing their stuff, especially the DA2 arrester gear team. I was on the arrester gear team 77 to the end, 2EA2 mess. Best job I have ever had. Thanks for the memories, Shep.
Buccaneer and Phantom, what a fantastic air group for carrier operations. She was a great ship, laid down in WW2 but not finished until the 50's, such a pity she missed the Falklands, maybe Argentina's Junta might not have been so rash had they been facing her.
@@Super8Rescue nice, I'm suffering now, stroke, Morton's neuroma, hearing. etc. too many banyans and running around the deck after work such a gift 🎁 great effort to put it all together.
Yes there something special about cine camera footage. My old man was in the air force and we have a bunch of stuff from Malaysia when we were kids. I don't why but stuff you get from your phone just doesn't compare. Maybe its because there is just so much of it about
@@Super8Rescue HMS Eagle visited NZ in the early 70s and a friend of mine flew Sea Hawks from the Ark Royal... awesome stuff! .. another mate was Tactical Radar Operator on HMS Invincible during the Falklands War.. naval power back in the day... Cheers from NZ 👍🇳🇿
It does catch them, but they have a finite life, so they end up going over sooner or later. I can't recall how many launches they do before being discarded.
I was one of the badgers on the waist catapult crew in 1978. At the time the ship was due for decommissioning so we just launched the planes and let the strops drop into the sea, otherwise we would have had to physically carry them off the ship once back in Devonport. It was so much easier to drop them in the Atlantic 😀
@@bogbean3774 Were you on the ship when 'Sailor' was filmed? I wish our new carriers were able to launch and recover F35Cs, they seem like over grown Invincible class ships in their current configuration. Bet you have some stories from your time aboard the Ark?
I joined the ship in 76 just after the sailor series finished. When I joined, the ship was in Devonport having its last maintenance period. I left in 79 when she was handed over to the dockyard for preservation before she was eventually scrapped.
@@bogbean3774 I know she was old and at the end of her usable life but if she had a few more years left in her the South Atlantic troubles a few years later may have been very different. I was only a kid at the time but I still remember an episode of Blue Peter when one of the presenters made the first cut with the oxyacetylene torches at the breakers yard...
I've seen better quality film from World War One.👎

You're welcome. It was a special moment in our life time
Buccaneer and Phantom, what a fantastic air group for carrier operations. She was a great ship, laid down in WW2 but not finished until the 50's, such a pity she missed the Falklands, maybe Argentina's Junta might not have been so rash had they been facing her.
Sadly I doubt she would have made it down there without a huge amount of money spent on her. Poor old thing was knackered.
Talk about edge of the envelope. No idea how we managed to successfully operate Phantoms off that tiny flight deck. Outstanding stuff. TFP
Thanks for watching. We managed because we were made of proper stuff, not like today's snowflakes!

Great footage with close-up shots of flight deck engineers in action - happy days! Many thanks Peter. Best regards, JF (Badger 3 ‘78).
I had the pleasure of being shown this film back in 1994 in the MWDC building HMS Dolphin
this film is from a private cine collection, I wonder how it was you got to see it
great video I. was a fire suitman during the last commission pip pip shipmates
I was citadel up on 2 deck somewhere
"loved the smell of avcat in the morning" great post Peter pip pip!
Avcat and chips...
Tremendous video! Many thanks for uploading!
some good memory joggers on film - great times when I was on her 73/76 2EZ1 mess Badger
Cheers Ian, Thanks for your kind comments. They were very special moments in our life time
Brilliant footage.
Thank you for your kind comment

Gratitude to Peter for letting me have a copy to share.

@@allgood6760 cheers.
Was that the last day (27/11/78) of fixed wing operations ? All the launch bridles seemed to be ditched !
HMS Queen Elizabeth (RO8) has a crew of 680, with capacity for 1600.
R09 was around 2700 with Squadrons onboard
@@Super8Rescue so much is carried out electronically or automated these days it's crazy
@@pickashole they will never automate frying chips
A CARRIER like this with today's Technicalities would most likely a crew 1000 to 1200
I thought the cow catcher on the bow was supposed to catch the bridle?
It does catch them, but they have a finite life, so they end up going over sooner or later.
