I don't know if this has been shared here before, but this is an interesting documentary from the late 60's following HMS Eagle on deployment near Singapore. There are lots of shots of Sea Vixens, Buccaneers and Gannets operating from the deck and interviews with pilots and observers. Includes a much more convincing LSO debrief than the one in Sailor! Be warned - the presenter is a bit sneering. It's in colour. Interestingly, the director, Richard Marquand, later went on to direct Return of the Jedi.
