and speaking of carriers.., is that Jack?

Maybe the brass was tired of him putting his hands in his pockets so they finally found a job that would cease that behavior all together! :shock: :D :D

De Havilland DH-103 Sea Hornet, not up on which British carrier it's aboard-

With my glasses on it looks like a de Havilland DH-103 SeaHornet to me.

There actually was a RN FAA version that was designed for deck landings the Sea Mosquito TR Mk 33.

I believe that the shape of the empennage, helps to ID it as a Sea Hornet.
