The new description is as follows:

“Spend the day at RNAS Yeovilton, with “Possible” Flight in a Swordfish or Similar Vintage Aircraft

The Royal Navy has very kindly donated, completely free of charge, a day out at RNAS Yeovilton, the home of the Fleet Air Arm for the winner and up to 3 guests. The visit will include a tour of the air station, a visit to the Fleet Air Arm Museum to learn much about the history of naval aviation.

It is hoped that during this visit, there will be an opportunity for one guest only of a flight in a Swordfish aircraft of the Royal Navy Historic Flight. The WWII Fairey Swordfish, with its superb handling qualities and extraordinary military history, could be a once in a lifetime experience! Though there is no guarantee of flight, The Royal Navy will make best efforts to allow one guest to go up in the Swordfish or other available vintage WWII aircraft that day.

Dates to be mutually agreed on, though availability of the Swordfish will not be possible until late 2006. there is no expiration date.

Does not include travel to/from experience or accommodation.”

I want one!

Guess the RNHF feel comfortable about getting one airworthy… Stringbag, what’s the latest?

Hmmm. You didn’t tell me it was a tough choice. There’s also a one Week Work Experience – Internship At Tatler, or Tea w/ Uri Geller at UK Estate & Spoon Bending Session. How to decide? :rolleyes:
