Ark Royal: The Complete History
Ark Royal: The Complete History : short review
From the first Ark Royal commissioned by Sir Walter Raleigh in the 16th Century to the present day aircraft carrier, Ark Royal has played a major part in the defence of Britain. This DVD traces the history of this famous series of fighting ships. Rare film shows the second Ark Royal in action in the First World War with the first Short seaplanes being lowered into the sea for take-off. The Second World War saw experiments with catapult-launched aircraft such as the Walrus and Hurricane. After the improvement of carrier-borne launches, the Ark Royal became a valuable fighting platform able to launch a variety of aircraft such as Blackburn Skua bombers, Fulmar fighters and the famous Fairey Swordfish. Archive footage shows these aircraft in action. The commissioning of the fourth carrier saw the introduction of the jet aircraft. Here we see shots of Sea Hawks, Scimitars, Sea Vixens, Buccaneers and eventually the Phantom.
Remember the fashions, fads and sporting events from 1981. Featuring archive footage of many of the key moments from the year.
