RNAS Yeovilton International Air Day - PREVIEW
 5th July 2008

 

   

What?

RNAS Yeovilton is at the heart of the Fleet Air Arm and is one of Europe's busiest military airfields. It is home to the Royal Navy's Commando Helicopters and Small Ships' Flights (Lynx) Squadrons. Many of these aircraft saw recent action in the Gulf. The Royal Navy Historic Flight also resides at RNAS Yeovilton and their aircraft such as the Swordfish and Sea Hawk. The Air Day has become famous for providing a highly varied and entertaining international flying display culminating in the traditional commando assault ultilising Yeovilton's based aircraft with pyrotechnics to demonstrate the potential of the Fleet Air Arm and the the rest of the Royal Navy. Elsewhere, there are field gun competitions, hanger exhibtions and a static display.
