1977 continued with the addition of an eagle eyed Sailor. This time the artwork on the box showed Action Man with an Ark Royal Tally band and therefore ALL sailors were issued with this hat.

Or were they?

I wonder if the choice of 'Ark Royal' was a nod to the TV show 'Sailor', the 'Fly on the wall' documentary series that was popular at the time? The show followed day to day life aboard The Royal Navy aircraft carrier and so the name 'Ark Royal' was well known at the time.

Cue a bit of 'Sailing;,,

I really love this Danny and this is next on my hit list. I'll need to flog a few loose figures in the meantime.

So the other tally bands such as HMS Victory were they released as different issues in different years?

yes Mark it seems that the previous release had various names but this one should only have Ark Royal as on the box Smile
