Announcing The 27th Owners Club National Meet 24th March 2019
The Club's 27th National Meet will be held on Sunday 24th March 2019 at Fleet Air Arm Museum RNAS Yeovilton Ilchester Somerset BA22 8HT 10:00am - 4:30pm The Fleet Air Arm Museum is devoted to the history of British naval aviation. It has an extensive collection of military and civilian aircraft, aero engines, models of aircraft and Royal Navy ships (especially aircraft carriers), and paintings and drawings related to naval aviation. Hall 1 contains a display about the development of naval aviation from the early days of airships and fabric-covered wooden biplanes to modern jet aircraft and helicopters Hall 2 is mainly devoted to the Second World War, with a side room featuring a Kamikaze exhibit, which contains models of Japanese aircraft and final letters from Kamikaze pilots. Two aircraft from the Korean War are also displayed. Hall 3 has been converted into a mock-up of the fleet carrier HMS Ark Royal as it would have appeared in the 1970s. The entrance to this hall is by a simulated helicopter ride from Hall 2. The hall itself is a simulation of a section of the flight deck of HMS Ark Royal and aircraft are displayed as if they are on the deck. In Hall 4 you'll find amongst other exhibits the second Concorde to fly and the first British built example. It was flown to Yeovilton on March 1976 and opened to the public in July of that year. It has been on display ever since. The museum has a well appointed cafe called the Swordfish Restaurant where you can buy hot meals, pastries, hot drinks and snacks Grille Badges, Key Rings, Calendars and other club shop items will be available to purchase on the day also.
