After a welcome pub breakfast, we spent today at the Fleet Air Arm museum in Yeovilton as a way of remembering my Dad who died last year. They had a good display of a Swordfish and a model of one of the Merchant Aircraft Carriers he had served on during the War - he had been invited to attend the model’s installation.

The museum was very well organised with excellent attentive staff and a very smooth system to earn Gift Aid - we signed up as annual members of the museum.

Before returning home, there was just time for a tour of Salisbury cathedral. With its 400 ft tall spire it looks very impressive and is the only British mediaeval cathedral built entirely in one style: Early English. The cathedral is very attractive and houses one of the few remaining original copies of the Magna Carta.

Jackei and I arrived home in Welwyn Garden City at about 10:00.
