Factoids

No. 18 - HMS Centaur In 1959, HMS Centaur was used during the making of the film Sink the Bismarck! To depict flight operations from both HMS Victorious and HMS Ark Royal; (she is clearly marked with her post-war pennant number R06 in both scenes). Three surviving Fairey Swordfish biplanes were restored and flown from her decks, and scenes were also shot on the bridge of the carrier, and in the aircrew briefing room.
