In July 1978 HMS Ark Royal was undergoing maintenance at Mayport Naval Base in Jacksonville, FL. During that time 809 Sq. operated out of NAS Cecil Field, near Jacksonville and conducted training flights all around the U.S., including NAS Alameda, CA. XV333 is currently on display at the Fleet Air Arm Museum at Yeovilton. This photo is copyright © Bob Thomas, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
