The end. 1978 HMS Ark Royal flying paying off pennant. Beautifully ranged deck.
A memorial park has this small plot of land left exactly as it was over 50 years ago- once a moonscape; now a grim glimpse of one of the most heavily bombed spots on Earth. Dong Loc Junction, Vietnam. 1/5 #planespotting #avgeek #aviationdaily #aircraft #aviationlovers #milair
