Film Number:ADM 4841
Other titles:FALKLANDS CONFLICT [Allocated Series Title]
Summary: Footage of HMS Invincible filmed from HMS Illustrious as the latter relieves the former on Falklands patrol duties.
Description: HMS Invincible is seen from various angles as it first pulls ahead of the camera ship and then as HMS Illustrious passes close alongside. The crew on the upper deck hold out a banner "Welcome back Hermes - Nice paint job" (a reference, one presumes, to the departed HMS Hermes, which left the area at the end of the conflict in need of a repaint). Some other ships are glimpsed briefly.
