HMAS Sydney Takes On New Air Group
HIMAS Sydney, the 13,190-ton aircraft carrier which the Australian Government bought from Britain 18 months ago and which arrived back in Britain this summer for a three-month visit, has been engaged in working-up trials round the British coasts after embarking the Australian Navy's new 21st Air Group. These Australian airmen had been training at Royal Navy air stations. Picture above was taken during the trials and shows a Firefly aircraft coming in to land
