Description
Korea, 1952-01. With snow and ice covering the flight deck of the aircraft carrier HMAS Sydney, members of the crew prepare Hawker Sea Fury aircraft of either No. 805 or 808 Squadron, 20th Carrier Air Group, RAN Fleet Air Arm, for missions over enemy territory. Owing to the bitterly cold weather, these were to prove the last missions flown in the Korean War by aircraft based on the Sydney. The serial number of the aircraft in the centre is 103.
