Whilst on holiday in Somerset last week I was fortunate to be able to visit the Fleet Air Arm Museum and following are some photos of just some of the many planes and helicopters on display. There are hundreds of exhibits and paintings on display as well as the aircraft and for those of us in the UK and trip down to Yeovilton is well worth it.
