RN HISTORIC FLIGHT DISBANDS

摘要

The Royal Navy Historic Flight officially disbanded on 31 March, having been in existence at RNAS Yeovilton since 1972. A news release said, "Over the next few months, responsibility for maintaining and flying the aircraft is expected to transfer to the charity Navy Wings, securing their long-term future flying as civilian rather than military aircraft." The list of aeroplanes involved is headed by Swordfish I W5856, which has recently been ground-run, and Swordfish Ⅱ LS326, which has not flown for a few years. The other aircraft in the RNHF's inventory upon its disbandment were Chipmunk T10 WK608, Sea Fury FB11 VR930, Sea Hawk FGA6 WV908 and Swordfish Ⅲ NF389.
