Summary: Scenes onboard HMS Victorious during a recreational period, while deployed in the Persian Gulf in response to the Kuwait crisis.
Description: Men sunbathe on the deck of HMS Victorious - in the background is parked Sea Vixen FAW.1 210. Men stand looking down onto the lowered after lift, where a volleyball game is in progress - spare bridles are stowed in the lift well. On the after end of the flightdeck are hoses, their nozzles supported by chocks, which throw a steady spray into the air - men stand, sit or lie in the salt water shower. MS from angled deck to the bows, where a Whirlwind is parked up for maintenance work, and pan right to two Scimitars and a Sea Vixen parked on the centreline, surrounded by sunbathers. A man lies on an improvised sun bed. CUs of sun-worshippers.
