HMS EAGLE
Hello to all.
In the declaration of war, the aircraft carrier " HMS EAGLE " was in Asia. She also made stopover for Durban to show "the flag". But did she make stopover for Diégo-Suarez during this journey? I have a photo of three FAIREY SWORDFISH landed on airfield that I suppose being Diégo-Arrachart. On their drift are registered, at the top a "E" and down "4A" in bigger. The quality of the image doesn't allow me to read the serial which is behind. Thank you in advance for your answers. regards Franck
