Aircraft: A-4G Custodian: Royal Australian Navy BuNo: 155063 Modex: 876 Location: HMAS Melbourne Date: Late 1974 Photo credit: David Ramsay Contact: Phil Thompson Description: Sparks fly during the launch of an A-4G Skyhawk from the HMAS Melbourne. NOTE: "...."CAG" acronym on the tail as it was the nominal 'CAG bird' flown by Carrier Air Group Commander. The shower of sparks caused by a loose bolt in the catapult track was not noticed until the photo was developed later when HMAS Melbourne docked. The problem was fixed thereafter." Phil Thompson
