The Phantom was a brute of an aircraft and seeing these impressive jet fighters operating from the diminutive deck of HMS Ark Royal must have been an awe-inspiring sight. With a deck of approximately 600 ft. in length and only 65 ft. wide, there was certainly no room for error on Ark Royal and it must have taken a very special breed of personnel to both fly and support British Phantom operations at sea. With little available space on the deck and a relatively short area available for take-off and landing, Ark Royal would certainly not have been a place for the faint-hearted and it is difficult to imagine how intense the experience must have been. One thing is certain, Royal Navy Phantom operations off HMS Ark Royal produced some of the most iconic aviation images in the history of naval aviation, as Britain’s Spey-powered Phantoms prepared to be blasted into the air for their latest sortie.
