Trivia: INDIANA JONES & Royal Navy

Post by dragon53 »

TRIVIA---Father's Day movie trivia.
In INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE, Sean Connery played Dr. Henry Jones, Sr. and Robert Eddison played the Grail Knight.
Ironically, Connery was an anti-aircraft gunner on the Royal Navy aircraft carrier HMS Formidable and Eddison was a lieutenant on the Formidable's sistership, HMS Illustrious, in World War II.

My apologies---the photo was labeled incorrectly by the source. I checked the photo descriptions twice before I posted them and they were labeled HMS Formidable and HMS Illustrious, respectively.
