I think it is a firefly actually that is being lifted from the hangar....likley to be a strike against the Tirpitz or a training cruise, around mid-1944 I think
Great shots - and a much needed additional reference for my Hellcat GB. 3rd from top is HMS Emperor, I suspect, entering Mediteranean to support southern France landings in 1944. One of the birds with the folded wings still has the D-Day stripes.
Yes, the plane on the lift is definitely a Barracuda. I like the shot of the Albacore with the Firefly behind it (next to bottom of first post, I think)
