Part of the first strike to launch from the deck of HMS Illustrious, Lt C.B. Lamb RN circles back towards the carrier before departing to Taranto. Carrying bombs and flares to mark the target for the subsequent strike Lamb and his observer Lt K.C. Grieve could not have known that they would be one of 20 out of the original 22 obsolete Swordfish biplanes that would return from the first carrier strike against an enemy fleet, and one which would change the balance of power in the mediterranean.

Nice little story under it.

Good to see another The Prisoner fan (Ive been to Port Merion a few times and stayed in the castle 'hospital'. Is a great place)


The suddenly block of black on the shot ruins it a little for me though, I think a sort of foggy fade would have made it a little better

Still, is nice  :)
