My Brother in Law was LT. on HMS Centaur during this period. I had the pleasure of visiting this carrier at Greenock a few year later. He retired after the Falklands war. I have photos from this visit.

Hi Ian,
Why not upload a few to the site so we can all enjoy them?
Cheers

Gannet looks like an AEW3, used for Airborne Early Warning ( AN- APS 20 radar) rather than for anti-submarine purposes !

If I remember correctly, Centaur visited Liverpool and as she was approaching the Princes Landing Stage, there was a sailor kneeling in the opening in the bows holding a replica European Cup, so it must have been during one of the years that Liverpool F.C. had had success in Europe.
