Squadron startup. Bob Stevenson said: " It was very seldom to get all 12 aircraft airworthy at the same time, ashore or at sea . . . . . (startup) wasn't an every day occurrence (but) was done on sending all aircraft back to Shearwater or from Shearwater to the ship if the ship was close enough. "

One hell of a storm.
