Once again, It's that time of the year. I've piled myself into the van and hit Yeovilton running.
I have seen a few shows here as the years have passed (Lots). I love Yeovilton because the backdrop sometimes allows you to take photographs that could have been made on a training mission away from a military base. At other times, trying to catch the on-base action is excellent.
The following photographs are my take on the 2019 arrivals at RNAS Yeovilton.
