HMS Formidable 67: Pride of the Royal Navy's Aviation Fleet Entering Valletta Harbour in June 1946 This historic photograph captures the moment when HMS Formidable 67, an Illustrious-class aircraft carrier of the British Royal Navy, gracefully entered Valletta Harbour in Malta on the 21st of June 1946. The Illustrious-class carriers were the largest and most advanced warships of their time, symbolizing the pinnacle of British naval power and aviation capabilities. As the sun began to set over the picturesque harbour, HMS Formidable 67, with its distinctive island superstructure and flight deck, made its impressive entrance. The sight of the mighty warship, flanked by smaller vessels, was a testament to the end of the Second World War and the beginning of a new era in naval aviation. The aircraft carrier was home to a formidable fleet of Sea Furies, Seafang, and Sea Hornets, which were launched from the deck to patrol the skies and protect the British fleet from air threats. The planes, represented in this image by a solitary Sea Fury in the foreground, were crucial to the success of the Royal Navy's operations and played a significant role in maintaining peace and security in the post-war world. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the crucial role the Royal Navy and its aircraft carriers, such as HMS Formidable 67, played in the history of aviation and naval warfare. The Illustrious-class carriers marked a turning point in the development of naval aviation and set the stage for the even more advanced carriers that would follow. The Peter Butt Aviation Collection, from which this image is taken, is a valuable resource for aviation historians and enthusiasts, offering a unique glimpse into the history of naval aviation and the evolution of aircraft carriers. This photograph, in particular, is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Royal Navy's aircraft carriers and their role in shaping the world we live in today.
