Weymouth & Portland Branch - Portsmouth Visit Report
What a trip! From exploring HMS Alliance and the Explosion Museum, to raising a pint at the Powder Monkey Brewery, our 3-day visit to Portsmouth (26–28 March) was packed with history, laughter, and brilliant company.
🔹 20 members came together in true Fleet Air Arm spirit
🔹 Special visits included HMS Sultan’s Helicopter Museum (thanks Neil & Jim Masson!)
🔹 Amazing support from the RNA, big thanks to Dave MacAskill & Sarah Bewley (even during CONA week!)
🔹 Unexpected moment: two members discovered they’d been on HMS Dido together—over 50 years ago!
“This trip really brought everyone together.”
“The camaraderie, the shared memories, and the banter—this is what keeps us going.”
Thanks to everyone who made it happen—and everyone who came along. Next trip? You won't want to miss it.
Bravo Zulu to all.
