Head on shot showing wing stowage. "AW-33" is 149248 also of VS-34.

These are inaccurate markings on this museum display. The aircraft was indeed operated at NAS Pax with the Naval Research Laboratory's (NRL) air component. In 2004 the NRL air component was formally designated a squadron, Scientific Development Squadron One VXS-1. It was given a tail code and squadron patch. Squadron's and units aboard NAS Patuxent River used to be charged with maintaining the upkeep of the Pax museum aircraft, and when the S-2D was brought in for a fresh paint job, someone decided to mark the bird up in VXS-1 markings instead of maintaining the aircraft's actual markings from it's time in service with NRL.

The anti submarine Carrier USS Randolph was open to the public whilst moored in Portsmouth Dockyard. The Randolph was a wooden deck WWII carrier. Horatio Nelson was probably familiar with the Georgian dockyard buildings behind.
