Sea Venoms launching from HMS Albion during Suez crisis
Note the catapult strop falling away. It seems pretty wasteful. Does anyone
know why the RN decided to employ a strop when launching by catrapult? I think the US carriers do not employ this method. Cheers, Indrek Aavisto -- Criticism is easy; achievement is difficult. W.S. Churchill

I think the US carriers do not employ this method. I think it was called a "bridle." I believe it came into use because it worked with tail-draggers. -- Andrew Chaplin SIT MIHI GLADIUS SICUT SANCTO MARTINO (If you're going to e-mail me, you'll have to get "yourfinger." out.)
