I think it enjoyed a level of mediocrity shore based (fun to fly, one great
turn), but never actually deployed.
While at Port Lyautey in 1956 I saw a squadron of Cutlass (VA-66?)
stop in for a few weeks. I think they were from the Champlain
operating in the Med. One did a wheels up landing at Lyautey and the
pilot suffered a broken back. A wheel watch duty was created until
they left.
