on the folded wing near the begining is is a piece of equipment with 2 blue practice bombs fitted -

it is a CBLS 'carrier bomb light store' & the 2 bombs are 28lbers [i mistakenly said 4kg]

XP was Fred in the Seat Bay?

Just now finally watched it X 2.........

Thanks, Phill, I really enjoyed it! Kind of
an expensive exercise for the RN, though,
losing that ship!

It was also nice to see a REAL "Boss" given
credit at the end. ;)
