The flight began with a departure roll from runway 26 at EGDY RNAS Yeovilton, where the aircraft, a Sea Fury VR930 in its old scheme, successfully took off. The takeoff distance covered 553 meters, which accounted for 24% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 127 knots, marking the beginning of the aircraft's ascent.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Ilchester in Somerset, England. From an initial altitude of 1,124 feet above sea level, the aircraft rose to 451 feet above sea level, an increase of 673 feet in just 2 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 2 nautical miles, showcasing the aircraft's impressive rate of ascent.
The final approach to runway 26 at EGDY RNAS Yeovilton was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 250.0 degrees at an altitude of 362 feet above ground level and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The approach was a crucial phase of the flight, requiring precise control to ensure a safe landing.
The landing itself was executed successfully, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 85 knots. The touchdown distance was a mere 157 meters, indicating a good landing. However, the touchdown rate was quite hard, at -512 feet per minute, which may have been due to the aircraft's high speed at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions during the landing phase were different from those during takeoff, with a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 29 knots from 301 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 18 knots and a headwind of 23 knots. Despite these challenging conditions, the aircraft's pilot managed to maintain perfect runway touchdown alignment.
However, the runway rollout alignment was not as precise, with the aircraft deviating from the centerline by 24.9 meters. This may have been due to the strong crosswind and headwind, which could have affected the aircraft's stability during the rollout phase.
In conclusion, the flight was a successful one, with the aircraft completing a total distance of 3 nautical miles in just 6 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used no fuel during the flight, indicating an extremely efficient performance.

The Sea Fury VR930, an aircraft with a rich history, has successfully landed at EGDY RNAS Yeovilton, a Royal Naval Air Station in the United Kingdom. The landing was conducted from the east, heading towards runway 26, with the aircraft at an altitude of 362 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The pilot's approach was precise, with a heading of 250.0°, indicating a well-executed final approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown speed of 85 knots and a distance of 157 meters. This suggests that the pilot had achieved a good balance between speed and control, allowing for a smooth touchdown. However, the touchdown rate was quite hard, at -512 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate some degree of control difficulty during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were moderate, with a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 29 knots from 301°. This resulted in a crosswind of 18 knots and a headwind of 23 knots, which the pilot would have had to contend with during the landing. Despite these challenging conditions, the pilot managed to maintain a perfect runway touchdown alignment, indicating a high degree of skill and control.
However, the landing was not without some issues. The total landing distance was 505 meters, which is 22% of the runway length. While this is not excessively long, it does suggest that the pilot may have been slightly cautious during the landing. Furthermore, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 24.9 meters from the centreline, which may indicate some degree of difficulty in controlling the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing of the Sea Fury VR930 at EGDY RNAS Yeovilton was a creditable performance, given the challenging weather conditions and the aircraft's age and handling characteristics. While there were some minor issues with the landing, the pilot's overall skill and control were evident throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
