M EAGLE fully put through catapulting and deck-landing trials; the big Python turboprop is started by the battery of compressed-air bottles, seen on the right. The final type involved in the trials was the delightful Hawker Sea Hawk F 1 (8), at present the Fleet Air Arm's standard first-line single-seat fighter. The machine shown was fitted with under-wing tanks, part of one being visible beneath the starboard flap. Dropping away is the towing bridle (also in 5), seen being attached to the catapult in 6.
