Searchlight show – Anniversary of the raid of Taranto

A charity dinner evening was held at Britannia Naval College, Dartmouth for the 75th anniversary commemorations of the raid on Taranto with high powered searchlights welcoming the guests – the cadets, current aviators and engineering officers serving in the Fleet Air Arm plus guest of honour is Vice Admiral Walter E ‘Ted’ Carter, the superintendent of the US Naval Academy.
