HMS Warrior - 1950s Flightdeck Photos [7 photos, 'bout 350kb)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the Hawker Sea Hawk saw service
in the Korean War. It first flew in 1951, and entered service two years
later.

Regards
Paul

Hello all

My mother just gave these to me from my late father's collection. Che
thinks (but is not 100% sure) that they were taken on the carrier HMS
Warrior during the Korean War evacuation.

All comments welcomed. Hope you enjoy.

I don't know when the Sea Hawk became operational. With the photos Dad
joined the RM in 1949 and served as a wireless operator; he was on surface
ships from 1949 to 1953/4 and then moved to submarines, leaving the RN in
1962. Mum's memory is OK for a 76 year old but Dad seldom talked about his
surface ship days, he was more effusive about the subs.

Ciao

Andrew
