I'll do a proper update soon, but I was really, really pleased I managed this at OW's FlyNavy show in June, especially before the Navy Lynx all retire soon...

Re: Naval Aviation (no, not navel ;-) )
Here are some older examples of naval aviation. All taken in the 1950's at Blackbushe, back where the US navy had a base there and military visitors were a daily occurrence...
None were taken by me, I wasn't even born.
Netherlands navy Catalina 16-212 6/9/1955
WT960 Skyraider AEW1 of 849sqn on the same day
Martin Mariner of the Netherlands navy 16-304 seen on 4/9/57. One of their very few visits to the UK as they were based in Aruba and returned to Holland only for maintenance.
One of the home base Beech SNB-5 23760 of FASRON 200, these were used for UK airways training and by desk pilots based in the London HQ
have many more if anybody is interested?
Should be having a book out in the next few months' Blackbushe-London's lost airport 1942-60'.

Re: Naval Aviation (no, not navel ;-) )
Well since you asked so nicely. The resident Blackbushe USN facility handled lots of visitors between 1954-60 when it moved to West Malling for a short time before its long stay at Mildenhall. There were the almost dailt flights from the US operated by R7V (Constellation) or later by R6D (DC-6), there was a three times a week European shuttle service by R5D (DC-4), plus many ad hoc flights by R5D. The p2V Neptunes were regulars as they were coming from/to deployments in the Med and the crews liked to stop for some R&R in London on the way. The most interesting were the Martin P4M Mercator of VQ-2. These 'elint' aircraft were detached from Port Lyautey and operated surveillance flights over the Baltic from Blackbushe monorting the Soviet navy.
One of the regular R5D flights from VR-24 with the airwork area and tower in the background, all wantonly destroyed in 1960
131418 Luckheed P2V-5F seen in taxing part the terminal on a wet day in January 1959
122209 Martin Mercator outside the US Navy hangar c1956. The hangar made it until demolished in 1982
A line up of North American AJ-2 Savage's that appeared on mass in 1955, not a regular occurrence
another savage, this time 122597 from the USS Coral Sea on 6/8/56, USN hangar in the background, extreme left
