Summary[edit]

Description The Royal Navy "batsman" on board the aircraft carrier HMS Illustrious (87) in the Indian Ocean. Here a more violent movement of the bats indicates "You are far too much to Starboard". The violent movement of the bats was given only when the "Lieutenant Flying" considered the aircraft to be too close to the deck and not making a good approach.
