Description
Snow and ice cover the flight deck of the aircraft carrier HMAS Sydney and aircraft of the 20th Carrier Air Group, Royal Australian Navy (RAN) Fleet Air Arm, lined up on it. At left are Fairey Firefly aircraft of No. 817 Squadron and at right are Hawker Sea Fury aircraft of either No. 805 or 808 Squadron. The bitterly cold weather caused moving parts of the aircraft to freeze solid, prevented them from flying.
