With the arrival of Wildcat it's an Army base with a token Naval presence. He reckoned it wouldn't stay under RN command for very long.
AA,
I would hardly call the RN presence at Yeovilton "token" as they far outnumber the Army and will do so well into the future. I am led to believe that the AAC are learning how inefficient their organisation is when compared directly to the FAA and I also understand the RAF had the same experience at Benson.
I also believe that the Army tried the "command" issue re Yeovilton and were firmly put back in their box by Adm Z.
