The Royal Navy during the Second World War A close shave for a Fairey Barracuda of 812 Squadron, Fleet Air Arm that was operating from HMS VENGEANCE during exercises off Manus, Australia, when the pilot decided to go round again instead of landing on. The aircraft can be seen pulling up sharply and turning away just in front of the carrier's island, part of which can be seen in the foreground. He made a perfect landing the next time.
