The Fleet Air Arm is sadly now on its knees. With the Harrier gone, Sea Kings going and not to be replaced... CHF to close in 2016.... AEW gone..... SAR gone.... That just leaves Merlin Mk 2 and Wildcat. Prestwick will close in 2016...Wildcat will be moved to Culdrose in 2018 to fill in all the spare space left by the Sea King fleet and Yeovilton will close in 2019. Leaving the FAA museum a sad legacy of what once was....
