2009 AIRSHOWS
| 11 July | RNAS Yeovilton International Air Day 2009 |
RNAS Yeovilton will be celebrating 100 years of Naval Aviation at their annual Air Day on Saturday 11th July. In 1909 the Admiralty placed its first order for a Naval Airship which at the time was a radical shift in military thinking that was to lead to the formation of the Royal Naval Air Service, later renamed the Fleet Air Arm. This marked the beginnings of the formidable versatility and capability of Naval Air Power as we know it today.
An extensive flying and static display will take place to mark this significant milestone with rare naval aircraft such as the Swordfish, Sea Fury, Seafire and Sea Vixen, coming together with other vintage aircraft, historic warbirds and classic jets to evoke nostalgic memories of a century of Fleet Air Arm aviation. Their modern counterparts such as the iconic Harrier and resident Lynx and Sea King squadrons will also demonstrate their capabilities currently used extensively around the world.

Photocall - 10th July 2009
Enthusiasts have the chance to drive onto the airfield and use one of the private enclosures situated on the Flight Line to view aircraft arrivals and display practices on Friday 10th July.
1st Entry time 1300 – 1400
2nd Entry time 1700 – 1730
Enthusiasts must remain in the enclosure till early evening, when arrivals and display practices have been completed, for safety reasons. We envisage that this will be between 1830 and 1900 but ask that you are accommodating should times overrun. Air Day personnel will then direct you to the static aircraft areas (not including the Commando Helicopter line), which will be open until 2030. Toilet and refreshment facilities are available.
Joint Photocall and Air Day packages are also available at a discounted rate if booked in advance. Please see Tickets for prices.
