Reinstate old nav bar menu at top of Google Images search page

I use the classic Google search pages for 'web' and 'video' search

https://www.google.co.uk/webhp?complete=0
https://www.google.co.uk/videohp?gws_rd=ssl

Both of these pages have the old style menu running along the top of the page (see attached screenshot), but the Google Images search page does not.

How can I reinstate the same old style menu when on the Google 'Images' search page?:

Thanks

I don't know if there is an url parameter for that, but maybe it's possible to force the old style layout by faking the useragent just for https://www.google.co.uk/imghp* using this addon, for example.

P.S.
FWIW I got used to the new images layout after installing Brings back Google search tools to left side user style.

Yeah, a url parameter would obviously be the easiest method, but I've tried all sorts of variations and none of them work.

I tried faking user agent, and while it does bring back the menu it also screws up the pages in various other ways (object size, on-screen positioning, font & colours etc.) making it a total mess.

Try this

https://www.google.co.uk/imghp?hl=en&tab=vi&sout=1

Adding &sout=1 gives you google images classic

Perfect! Thank you Alhaitham.

This saves me from having to find some crazy work-around (such as overlaying a manually created menu).

UPDATE: I've now looked closer at the classic Images search page, and although it gives me exactly the menu that I want, it does lose the useful 'Search by image' function that you get on the current Google Images search page (i.e. the little camera icon at the end of the search text input box that matches an image that you drop on it).

Seeing as I only wanted the classic Image search page for its top level nav bar menu, how can I replace the text input box and search button on the classic page with the one from the current page?

I guess it'd be much more realistic to use a userscript that offers similar functionality, e.g. Reverse Google Image Search Anywhere

P.S. Looking at your last 4 messages I can't but mourn yet another time at the site owner's decision to use the deficient Vanilla forum engine ;)
