The Top Secret Weapon

This photo was taken as Collett was being shadowed by a Russian Trawler and someone in the ship's Admin. wanted us to create a mystery rocket. Jim Glaze MM1 assisted in building this thing out of an empty powder casing and some cardboard material. Can anyone identify the sailor looking down off the flight deck?
