In the original FAA Museum hangar. Wearing the diamond markings of 806 Sqdn. Current in 2022 in the Carrier Display.

806 Sqn Seahawk FGA.6 after taking the wire on HMS Albion at sea in 1960 with the port undercarriage leg retracted. WV806 was sold as scrap from Belfast in February 1968. I have seen this incident logged elsewhere as 1st September 1959 but this does not tally with 806's embarkment on HMS Albion which was from February to December 1960. Location is probable but not confirmed. Photographer not known. Photo obtained from former Fleet Air Arm pilot in 1971.
