When I was on the last Ark Royal and Invincible before that, we had 849 Naval Air Squadron on board, with their early warning radar equipment. They also used to do deck landing practice on RFA Argus when I served time on their during the Balkans war.

Ridiculous

are they carrying underslung loads or is it just the radar dome you can see underneath

Think it's the radome, like the old Sea king Whisky sub hunter radar.

I just ran along Redcar beach and couldn’t see anything. I did see a helicopter coming in and one going back out to sea though.

Can’t see the aircraft carrier!

Redcar Esplanade Live Webcam

An interesting live view of the Esplanade in Redcar, Cleveland in Yorkshire UK. This live streaming webcam looks up the Esplanade from the Coastwatch lookout post and you can see the wind powered electricity generators just out to sea too.

It's a good 10 mile or more out to sea, unlikely to see it

Absolute beasts. The way the pilots throw them about is unbelievable.
