That would be an A-1 Skyraider affectionately know as a "Spad". That last USN sea going squadron last deployed in 1968 on board the USS Coral Sea with VA-25..The Fist of the Fleet..

6 Apr 1968: VA-25 returned to NAS Lemoore
from a combat deployment to Vietnam, bringing to a
close an era for the A-1 Skyraider. It was the last attack squadron to deploy and operate the A-1. The A-
1’s last combat mission with VA-25 came to an end on
20 February when the aircraft touched down on the
deck of Coral Sea (CVA 43).

Heres anotherone popeye

I was discussing this with a few people over a few beers in the pub , and a couple people reckon from the pictures theyve seen,

the pilots hands arent on the controls of the plane when it's catapulted off the deck because of the way some photoes show the positioning of the arms, suggesting he must take over after the inniatial thrust from launch T/F ? thanks

Correct. The pilot shows his hands before launch. But as soon as the aircraft reaches the end of the catapult they pull back on that stick to get airborne.
