Three fine photos of HMS Ark Royal (R09) in what seems to be her 5th commission between 1964 and 1966. Aircraft on board are Scimitars, Sea Vixens, Gannets, and a Wessex helicopter.
In 1967, the Ark would enter Devonport for a three-year refit that would enable her to operate the F4 Phantom II (Phantom FG1).

Some more pictures of the "Béarn", first French flattop.
It was originaly a Normandie class dreadnought, who were converted into aircraft carrier before completion, launched on 15 April 1920 & commissioned on 5 December 1927. It served until the 1940s & converted into aircraft transport.

And how long was it before designers moved the elevator from the flight path?
