Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm FG.1 Phantoms of No. 892 Naval Air Squadron back on board the carrier HMS Ark Royal (R09) after a visit to a US Naval Air Station (NAVSTA) Oceana where they worked up with USS Saratoga. The Royal Navy roundels had been "zapped" and replaced with interwar American Navy "meatball" insignia, and on XV590 001/R, the "Royal Navy" flash had been replaced with one for the "Colonial Navy."
