	Martin Morley's FRADU Hunter slides

	RNAS Yeovilton Airshow 1996
		The chaps at Yeovilton really understand aviation enthusiasts - they open the gates on the Friday before the airshow to allow ticket holders onto the airfield to photograph the arrivals.
		There is also a ticket-only photo evening allowing access to the static park and flightlines without having to contend with the masses present on the airshow day itself.
		Earlier in the week it had been reported that little or no visitors were to be expected, but fog in the vicinity of the carrier on the Thursday morning had caused the aircraft present at the show to divert to Yeovilton.

	Air Day, RNAS Yeovilton, Somerset (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Yeovilton's runway runs directly east-west and the crowdline is to the north which means taking photos into the sun which is always a disadvantage.
		From Bournemouth was the first of the historic naval jets, the Vampire, painted in the naval colours of an actual Yeovilton based machine.
		The slow pass was impressive as you could quite distinctly hear the 'blipping' of the throttle as the pilot kept the nose up.

	What a gray day...
		Weather was the word at Yeovilton this year - whether anything would turn up on the Friday, given the appalling weather conditions.
		It wasn't the frequent showers that were the problem, but the cloudbase that sometimes ventured down to a few feet above the runway, combined with a fierce cross-wind gusting to gale force on occasion.
		Yeovilton always provides an opportunity to see things not usually at other airshows, this year such as the commando assault demonstration and first opportunity of the year to see the Royal Navy Historic Flight's Seahawk in action after several years off the airshow circuit (see sidebar).

	Welcome to the official web site for the Fleet Air Arm Museum, Yeovilton, Somerset, UK
		To increase interest, the Commanding Officer at the time proposed that the 3 historic aircraft held by the Station should be placed on view by the enclosure.
		The success of Yeovilton's Public Enclosure showed that there was a substantial level of interest in the FAA's activities and this helped to support the proposals written by Captain Keith Leppard, a member of Admiral Gick's staff, in convincing the Admiralty Board that a Fleet Air Arm Museum would be in the Service's interest.
		The Fleet Air Arm Museum was opened in May 1964 by HRH Prince Phillip, (who remained the Museum's Patron until 1995, when HRH The Duke of York took over) when it comprised just one hangar and eight aircraft.
