Trying to ID an old brit carrier

SOH-CM-2022
Was reading through the Alpha/Virtavia Seaking manual and noted that in several shots the model is sitting on the aft deck of an older carrier, deck pennant is either an I or a J and looks to have an angled deck. I'm thinking possibly Majestic or Colosus class however wiki was of little help and I'm not at home just now so no books.
Was just hopping someon could ID the ship so I can go hunting for the model, would be a good match for the flying stations Wyverns and Rob Richardsons Sea Venom if I could find it.

Scratch that, found some scale drawings that show an earlier itteration of Eagle than the shots in the link above and she does indeed carry a J pennant.
So I guess the carrier I saw was this one:

Which I've had my eye on for about 2 years, would be nice to see her released some day.

The top Pic in the photo's is pre angled deck proper, she still has the 4.5" anti aircraft guns the angled deck at that time was just painted on
 
Going by the deck letter H and aircraft tail letter H I would say Hermes when she still had a Flat deck the other I could'nt see a deck letter but the aircraft tail letter V suggests Victorious though they could have been hitching a ride.
