Yeovilton Air Day 2018

Yeovilton Air Day 2018

De militaire luchthaven van Yeovilton ligt op wandelafstand (5NM) van de Westland helikopter fabriek in Yeovil. Daardoor is Yeovilton altijd de basis geweest van de helikopter van de Britse Zeemacht. Het is de thuishaven van de Wildcats en de Merlins (AW101), beide helikopters worden gebouwd bij Westland (nu Leonardo) in Yeovil.  

The annual Royal Naval Air Station (RNAS) Yeovilton International Air Day in Somerset will take place on Saturday 7 July 2018.  Up to 40,000 visitors are expected to visit the Royal Navy’s premier public event at the spiritual home of the Fleet Air Arm.
RNAS Yeovilton International Air Day will demonstrate the Maritime Capability and Air Power not only from the Royal Navy but also our sister services – the British Army and the Royal Air Force in their centenary year – and our NATO and European allies.  Our aim is to display, either flying or static, the world’s most capable pilots and their aircraft.  It is a fantastic opportunity to see some outstanding equipment and meet our professional personnel in a family-friendly environment.

Alongside the magnificent five hour flying display there will also be a huge array of ground attractions, from engineering fairs to the latest defence technology exhibitions, Service displays, trade stalls and arena displays. For the thrill seekers there will be simulators, fairground rides and helicopter pleasure flights to enjoy.

We look forward to welcoming you onboard at the Royal Naval International Air Day on Saturday 7 July.
