| HMAS Ibis - Archive Photographs |
| With the kind permission of Mr Ray Simpson here are some photographs of the HMAS Ibis taken in England before she was commissioned. Ray writes " I believe this to be the first official photo of Ibis, taken in the UK,prior to her being commissioned into the RAN in 1962. The photo was taken whilst on pre commissioning trials. The two other photo's are of the original commissioning crew, with Allan Lee Beaumont as skipper, taken in Poole, Dorset." |
