Royal Navy in the Far East & Pacific
At the start of hostilities with Japan, the Royal Navy's Eastern Fleet headquartered in Singapore took heavy losses in attempting to protect British and Dutch colonies. While attempting to stop the invasion of Malaya, on December 10, 1941 the battleship HMS Prince of Wales and battlecruiser HMS Repulse were sunk by Japanese land based aircraft. In April 1942, Japanese carriers raided the Indian Ocean and Ceylon sinking several vessels including the aircraft carrier HMS Hermes and the cruisers HMS Cornwall and Dorsetshire. After the raid, the Eastern fleet retreated to the east coast of Africa.
As naval commitments in Europe lessened, modern aircraft carriers and battleships were reassigned to the Eastern Fleet. The Eastern Fleet worked with US Navy elements conducting operations in the Dutch East Indies and New Guinea.
In November 1944, the British Pacific Fleet was formed to work in conjunction with the United States Pacific Fleet. At the core of the fleet were six modern fleet carriers and four light carriers supported by modern battleships, cruisers, destroyers, tankers, and supply ships. The Pacific Fleet took part in the Invasion of Okinawa, strikes against the Japanese mainland, and was present at the Japanese surrender.

in 1943, the Royal Navy introduced a standardized battledress uniform made of blue serge wool, with rank shoulder boards, and gold gilt brass buttons. The uniform was usually worn with a white shirt and a black tie. This uniform has the rank braid of a lieutenant on its shoulders. This pilot is wearing a standard Fleet Air Arm flying kit, including a Type 1941 Life Vest, a Naval C-Type Leather Flying Helmet with zip ear covers, a G-Type Oxygen Mask, Mk Vill Flying Goggles, and Type D Flying Gauntlets.

Fleet Street is a major street in the City of London. It runs west to east from Temple Bar at the boundary with the City of Westminster to Ludgate Circus at the site of the London Wall and the River Fleet from which the street was named.
Having been an important through route since Roman times, businesses were established along the road during the Middle Ages. Senior clergy lived in Fleet Street during this period where there are several churches including Temple Church and St Bride's. Fleet Street became known for printing and publishing at the start of the 16th century and it became the dominant trade so that by the 20th century most British national newspapers operated from here. Much of the industry moved out in the 1980s after News International set up cheaper manufacturing premises in Wapping, but some former newspaper buildings are listed and have been preserved. The term Fleet Street remains a metonym for the British national press, and pubs on the street once frequented by journalists remain popular.
Fleet Street has a significant number of monuments and statues along its length, including the dragon at Temple Bar and memorials to a number of figures from the British press, such as Samuel Pepys and Lord Northcliffe. The street is mentioned in several works by Charles Dickens and is where the legendary fictitious murderous barber Sweeney Todd lived.

This is a first year Fleet model. Well, i should say a first year middleweight Fleet sporting the slimline tank. From what i've researched, this is a pretty rare tank made only one year with the Schwinn decals on the upper portion of the tank and horn delete. I wish i had taken some "before" pics of this thing, because it was a total heap when i hauled it home. In fact, i was kicking myself for spending the 90 bucks it took to buy the sorry thing...lol.. I put a LOT of time and work into this bike, but at least now i don't feel bad about buying it!!
