Navaleye, yes, it certainly was. Yeovilton to Farnborough to HMS Hermes to Yeovilton....

And of course Brawdy was a navalestablishment in earlier days. The locals in Solva described a Sea Hawk once flying past the pub at very low level!

It was an RAF Hunter station when I was there though. But the phonebox in the Officers' Mess still said 'Wardroom, RNAS Brawdy' on the placard in the phone!

The only thing naval when I was there was the 'Biscuit Factory' inhabited by weird American Secret Squirrels.

I once got a couple of them into "Ah cannot confirm o' deny...." robospeak after I'd had to jettision my tanks following a flashing engine low fuel pressure light. "Hope I didn't blow your headphones off, chaps, when I punched my tanks into the bay?" quoth I.

They were Not Amused.

We called it the 'Biscuit Factory' because it was commanded by a Captain Jacobs!
