ENTRIES ARE NOW CLOSED.

Up to 40,000 visitors are expected through the gates of RNAS Yeovilton on Saturday 13th July for the 2019 Yeovilton Air Day. It’s set to be an amazing show and we’ve got a pair of tickets to give away to some lucky listeners of FromeFM.

There will be over 5 hours of spectacular flying displays and the perfect opportunity to explore the extensive static display, a huge array of ground attractions, Service displays, trade stalls and arena displays. For the thrill seekers, there will be simulators, fairground rides and helicopter pleasure flights to enjoy!

This year’s Commando Assault Finale will include four of CHF’s Merlin transport helicopters that support Royal Marines operations worldwide, a pair of Hawk T1 jet trainers from No 736 NAS – the Royal Navy’s Aggressor Squadron and a pair of maritime Wildcats. These fixed and rotary-winged assets will combine with Royal Marine Commandos, all-terrain vehicles and artillery with bursts of pyrotechnics. The set piece capability demonstration will culminate in the jaw-dropping Wall of Fire to give Air Day the most epic of endings.

For your chance to win tickets to the Yeovilton Air Day 2019 please listen to the three pieces of music below and let us know the films that they are from.

To enter email hello@nullfrome.fm and remember to give your name and a contact email or telephone number so that we can get in touch with you if you win. You must be a UK resident and be available on Saturday 13th July to attend the 2019 Air Day at Yeovilton. Closing date for entries is 10th July 2019. Full terms & conditions.
