Fleet air Arm Museum

I have been to the FAA museum a couple of times in the past. The first time was in the mid eighties and the second must have been 15 years or so ago so a return was overdue. Making the most of being on my own as the wingman visited family I set off earlyish this morning for what proved to be a 3 hour drive to the museum. I bought a ticket in advance just as a precaution but it really wasn't necessary.

The museum is situated on the edge of RNAS Yeovilton, split in to 4 display areas with around 40 airframes on display. Apparently the FAA reserve collection is home to around 60 airframes and there are tentative plans afoot for an open day so the public get to see them. That could be interesting but the meantime here is some of what I saw today.

  1. Hi Peter,

    Glad you managed to get out and about now the season is finished. Looking at the shots you took apart from the T-6 everything is more or less in the same positions l saw them in when l last called in pre Covid-19. I think you did well photography wise considering the lighting conditions. Well done
