		Yeovilton saw Cpt Alan Wade in the SERCO operated Slingsby T67M Firefly give a fine aerobatic performance while the Cobham Formation that had been seen at RIAT made a welcome and appropriate part of Yeovilton's display.
		Once again, Yeovilton provided a top class airshow with an absolutely cracking flying display which was very well balanced with some exciting star displays, particularly the Hunter and the SAA 747.
		Even with the massive crowds, Yeovilton was just as pleasant a venue as usual, even though the there were far too few toilets for the record crowd leading to a few frustrating queues.

		There has been talk of severe restrictions on access to the Yeovilton village area during the show as well, so you are unlikely to be able to bring a car down the road towards the village.

		Since its origins in 1914 with the Royal Naval Air Service, later to be renamed the Fleet Air Arm (following a brief and largely unsatisfactory period under the control of the Air Ministry), Naval Aviation has rightly been the province of the Royal Navy.
		The FAA remains at the forefront of this effort, offering today’s successors of those pioneering Naval aviators an exciting and rewarding career, as you will discover if you take advantage of this opportunity to talk to any uniformed member of the Royal Navy or Royal Marines at our show.
		Yeovilton based Commando Sea King and Lynx helicopters and Maritime Lynx Squadrons will feature in the extensive flying programme, together with a wide selection of civilian and military aircraft and aerobatic display teams.
