Description
Rugged up against the cold, crew members of the aircraft carrier HMAS Sydney brave a blizzard to work on the ice and snow covered flight deck. On the deck is a Hawker Sea Fury FB 11 fighter aircraft of either 805 or 808 Squadron, RAN Fleet Air Arm. The bitterly cold weather caused moving parts of the aircraft to freeze solid, drastically curtailing flying operations.
