This was a practice day prior to both the opening of the Fleet Air Arm Museum and an airshow to celebrate the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the formation of the Royal Naval Air Service, the predecessor of the Fleet Air Arm, at RNAS Yeovilton on 28th May 1964. (It was a long journey by rail and hitchhiking from London for me, but worth the effort!) This photo is copyright © Alex Christie, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
