Indeed. The wings fold and unfold in ways scarce comprehensible, and as a bonus the thing flies and annoys submariners, too. :lol:

Great video. Everybody being frightfully British! I remember, as a kid, seeing a Gannet perform a neat roll at a few thousand feet over our school.

I was able spend half a day at sea on the Ark Royal when she visited Mayport on her final deployment in Julyish 1978. My step-dad was friends with her medical officer so I guess RHIP! Plus my step sister fell in love :roll: and married a PO in the air dept while they were in Mayport so I go some cool tours besides. Flight ops were cool and I had a bunch of photos but has far has I know they burned. They even had A-7Es from Cecil Field doing T & Gs 8) I do still have the final deployment plaque they gave me.
