This significant milestone will be marked within Air Day’s extensive flying and static displays. Types such as the illustrious Fairey Swordfish torpedo bomber - famed for its attack on the German battleship Bismarck, the potent, Korean War-era Hawker Sea Fury and the world’s only flying example of a Hawker Sea Hawk will take to the skies along with their modern counterparts, such as the Harrier, evoking nostalgic memories of 70 years of naval aviation at RNAS Yeovilton.

The extensive flying display will feature many historic and modern aircraft types to celebrate RNAS Yeovilton’s 70th Anniversary. Yeovilton based Commando Sea King and Lynx helicopters and other Maritime Squadrons will demonstrate their capabilities in the infamous Commando Assault Demonstration with plenty of pyrotechnics! The RAF and Army as well as foreign military participants will also provide fast jet displays, static aircraft, aerobatic display teams and historic flypasts.
