Bridge of HMS Attacker

Bridge of HMS Attacker

Here we see the open bridge on the Attacker class escort carrier HMS Attacker. On the left is Lieutenant Commander J. W. Sleigh who commanded a number of FAA squadrons operating from escort carriers (although not the Attacker) In the centre is Rear Admiral A.W. La Touche Bisset. On the right is Captain W.W.P. Shirley-Rollison, who had been the first pilot to fly the seaplane carried in the submarine HMS M2 in 1927 and captain of the Attacker from April 1942 to May 1944.
