Hellcats of 808 Squadron, HMS Khedive

Here we see Grumman Hellcat fighters from No.808 Squadron, Fleet Air Air, being ranged on the flight deck of the Ruler class escort carrier HMS Khedive during a naval action off Sumatra in April 1945. In the back left we see the battleship HMS Queen Elizabeth, possibly firing some of her forward guns.
