I was lucky enough to be at RNAS Yeovilton yesterday, as Lt Cdr Dave MacKay RNR took VR930 up for a flight and subsequent display practice!
Three photos are included below…
Comments welcome!



Thanks for looking.

Hope the SeaHawk is soon well. One of the prettiest jets ever. And from a crab, thats a compliment!

They pulled it out the hangar for a couple of hours after VR930 had landed, but I don’t think it flew.Thanks for the comments on the images guys!
I’m beginning to get something right at least!
WV908 went for a brisk “walk around the block” – actually a quick taxi to South Dispersal and back again to allow this year’s new-convert Lt Pat Barnes to get a feel for it on the ground before he makes his first flight in her. Unfortunately she threw her toys out of the pram and went u/s on Friday, so the planned first post-maintenance check test flight will now be next week.
