I may have posted this before, but the picture above , brought it all back. This was my eye view of what I used to do. I was an Aircraft Handler in the Royal Navy.(1958/1968) The Branch was responsible for Air Traffic Control, Firefighting ( Crash Rescue ashore and at sea) Aircraft movements .My last seagoing post was HMS Victorious as a Flight Deck director. The painting is of HMS Hermes, with a Sea Vixen taxiing and a Gannet 'going round again' The director on the left has just handed the a/c over to the viewer. Exactly as we did it hundreds of times on 'the Vic' (Best Job In The World)
