International Air Day at Royal Naval Air Station Yeovilton is under threat from the campaigning group Fathers4Justice, the Western Daily Press can reveal.
At least two activists are understood to have been training to disrupt the hugely popular family event - on Saturday, July 7 - by dropping in on motorised parachutes (also known as paraplanes).
Matt O'Connor, founder of the group, which fights for equal rights for separated and divorced fathers, confirmed last night that action was a possibility.
He said: "We never discuss any plans in advance, but I understand that activists have already visited the site. It's possible to disrupt the event with a view to stopping it taking place."
