Film shot by HMS Bulwark's Entertainment Officer, showing some of the ways in which the ship's company amused themselves while anchored off Famagusta with no shore leave other than to a Rest Camp on the island - run by the Army.

Aerial shots of HMS Bulwark at sea, Sea Hawks and Venoms ranged forward, and the coast about Famagusta, ending at a tented encampment by the beach, where Bulwark's crew are to enjoy Rest and Recuperation. Scene onboard as a Lieutenant checks the permits of a group of swim-suited libertymen. LA as the party goes down the accommodation ladder into the boats which will take them ashore - a whaler towed by a motor-boat. Men relax on the beach - two men pass the camera, one supporting the other in the classic pose of drunkards. Men swim to a raft tethered in the shallows - Bulwark and a destroyer are visible anchored offshore. A boat brings more men from the carrier. Interior of the camp's pub - men drink and play darts. Interior of the clubroom - men read papers, play table football and billiards. Shots of souvenir and sporting hire shops. Men eat in the restaurant. Putting in the sand dunes. Tennis on a shady hard court. The scene shifts back to Bulwark, where men are diving from the lower decks and boom into the sea. A game of water polo follows. Flightdeck hockey and volleyball on one of the lowered lifts. Pistol shooting at targets set up on deck. The cameraman embarks with a small group of fishermen in one of the boats - a whaler and four dinghies are also being sailed about the ship. One of the fisherman 'catches' a large fish. One of the dinghies capsizes, but is righted by one of its crew standing on the keel. Water-skiers are towed about by a Whirlwind helicopter and, more conventionally, by a ship's boat.
