"I bet they wish it was Sea King to Chinook."
Rubbish. Since as Evalu8r said "A non-marinised CH-47..." there is NO marinised one.

"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"
They reckon eh? Well that'll do it. More rubbish.

"The AAC are at Yeovilton with Wildcat, traditionally the RAF have provided SE-Fitt support for AAC regiments, is this support now provided by the dark blue SE branch?"
Don't know. But the AAC have put a lot of Wildcat aircraft maintenance out to civ contract, gratefully snapped up by mainly ex-RN AETs who want to stay in the area.
