The Navy Wings Collection is a civilian-run naval aviation heritage organization based at the Royal Navy aerodrome, RNAS Yeovilton, in Somerset, England. They inherited the mantle of the famed Royal Navy Historic Flight (RNHF) at its disbandment in 2019, and continue to maintain and operate the surviving RNHF fleet from the same hangars that organization once did, but funded by a charitable entity, the Fly Navy Heritage Trust. Navy Wings also involves other privately-owned aircraft with a British naval pedigree under the same umbrella. The past couple of years have been challenging for this important outfit though, not least because of the difficulties which the global pandemic has presented, but also because of a recent accident involving their Hawker Sea Fury T.20 VX281. Thankfully, neither of the aircrew were seriously injured during VX281's forced landing, but the historic fighter incurred significant structural damage and will need a major rebuild - and major financing - befo
