Two unidentified aircraft in flight, seen from on board the Royal Navy commando carrier Hermes (1953) in the North Sea off the coast of Norway during the NATO exercise Swift Move.

A very distant view of two unidentified aircraft in flight at low level over the North Sea off the coast of Norway. A large aircraft is just ahead of a smaller jet and this may be an in flight refuelling serial or it may be an United States Navy jet keeping an eye on a Soviet reconnaissance aircraft. The photographer is on the flight deck on board the Royal Navy commando carrier Hermes (1953) during the NATO exercise Swift Move.
