I think that it was before then......just!! Boss of 892 was Nigel Anderdon, a friend of my father. Having watched Wyverns, Sea Venoms and Seahawks at Merryfield years earlier when Yeovilton was being extended for the 'Vixen, the first airshow appearance at Yeovilton of the Scimitar, 'Vixen and later the F4 as well as hearing the occasional Sea Fury and Swordfish, our part of Somerset fairly hummed with real RN flying!! And then it all died when the carriers went......so I joined the RAF instead.
