RNAS Yeovilton International Air Day 2010

Royal Naval Air Station Yeovilton – HMS Heron – celebrated its 70th anniversary this year with a truly international event with participants from France, Germany, Belgium, Spain, The Netherlands, Jordan and Denmark.

The RAF supported with The Red Arrows and Harrier and historic types included Seafire, Hurricane and Venom. Aerobatics and wing-walking thrills and spills came courtesy of the Breitling, Swift, Twister and Falcons Team and the Vulcan delivered the noise.

But this was the Royal Navy’s day and they did not disappoint with full displays by Lynx, Merlin, Black Cats, Jetstreams, Raiders parachutists and of course the explosive Commando Assault Finale. Our cameras in the Sea King and embedded with troops take you right into the action.
