Re: Fairey Fulmar. Fleet Air arm. Department of Information. 26 May 1942.

Fairey Fulmar fighters on the flight deck of 23000-ton HM aircraft carrier Victorious. Department of Information. Tuesday 26 May 1942. Advocate newspaper. The quality of photo is not that good, and the enemy may have said it is propaganda from the British department of information during WW2. But still, some interesting information about the aircraft.
