She has De Havilland Sea Vixens, Fairey Gannets and a Westland Whirlwind on deck, her pendant number is R06 and everything forward of her island superstructure is out of the picture. The dockyard paddle tug Director (1956) is close to the stern of the Centaur (1947). The photographer is on board the aircraft carrier Eagle (1946), which is in 12 berth, looking across the flight deck from the island superstructure. In the foreground is the De Havilland Sea Vixen FAW.2 XP958, coded 498/E.
