I just saw the weirdest video on PBS. They were showing a film of British Catapult trials and they were flinging unpiloted Seafires (maybe Fireflys) off the end of this heavily modified carrier. The aircraft had no outer wing and were running at full throttle, launching vainly into the air before stalling and smacking into the sea.
Considering the value of these aircraft today (though at the time they weren't valuable) it was definately strange seeing them used in this way
