EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the crew of HMAS Melbourne assembled on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier, surrounded by their complement of Skyhawk and Tracker aircraft. HMAS Melbourne, originally laid down as HMS Majestic in 1943, saw its construction frozen at the end of World War II. The ship was later taken over by the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) and commissioned in 1955. In this image, the crew members stand proudly next to their planes, their determined expressions reflecting the importance of their role in the defense of the nation. The Skyhawk and Tracker aircraft, with their distinctive shapes and powerful engines, are lined up neatly on the flight deck, ready for takeoff. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the men and machines that made up the formidable HMAS Melbourne and its aviation wing during the mid-20th century.
