Good Naval Photograph Album. Good album showing Journey of HMS Venerable to the Far East in 1945. We can see on board aircraft routines and incidents, offshore events, occupation of Hong kong, crashes into the sea, wrecked aircraft. Lots to explore, lots of interest, only a small fraction of interesting images displayed here. Total of photographic images ; 228. Vast majority are military themed, occasional pictures of people on beaches, kangaroos etc. Total of used pages is 94. One page missing, one small photograph absent. Pasted in old Japanese or Chinese accounting book. One map of Hong Kong and one large split aerial photo of Hong Kong. One old Macau gambling ticket in book. Included is one 1980 letter to former owner and creator of album, thanking him for offer of photographs for upcoming research publication on Royal Naval history. Album includes mages of immediate aftermath of Japanese surrender in Singapore and also of Japanese prisoners in Hong Kong. Several live action shots of crashes or immediate aftermath of crashes of carrier aircraft. Corsairs and Firefly aircraft. HMS Venerable was laid down at Cammell Laird in Birkenhead on 3 December 1942 and launched just over a year later. As with others of the class completed just before the ending of hostilities, HMS Venerable immediately headed to the Far East to join the 11th Aircraft Carrier Squadron (Colossus, Glory and Vengeance) of the British Pacific Fleet. Each carrier had around 40 F4U Corsair fighters and Fairey Barracuda torpedo bombers on board. After the end of hostilities, HMS Venerable repatriated prisoners of war to Canada and Australia, before returning to the UK.
