Remarks: No, this is not a night shot on the Ark Royal, but at Yeovilton Royal Navy Museum, where there is a life sized Ark Royal compartments representing real life on the carrier, including the flight deck, command and control centres with sounds etc ... a very nice experience !
Remarks: History in the making ! Exactly one year after that these 2 x LAF Mirage F1s had disobeyed orders to attack civilian rebels in Benghazi during the Libyan uprising, and defected to Malta, they were flown back to Libya, now wearing the new Libyan flag roundels, by the same two pilots who had originally defected to Malta and given political asylum.
