Lieutenant Phill Fordham’s sub-hunting Merlin was amongst the first of many flypasts over Scarborough
“On a personal level, taking part in National Armed Forces Day is a huge honour for me. I get to fly over my hometown and the school where my involvement in the Cadets kicked off my military career.“For the wider military it is an excellent opportunity for us to expose the public to a little bit of what we do, show our thanks for their support and to pay respects to our veterans and those no longer with us.
Phill leads up a team of aircrew and engineers from 814 Naval Air Squadron, nicknamed the Flying Tigers. “I’ve been a pilot on the squadron now for nearly four years,” he said. “Since qualifying in 2018 I have deployed to the Western Atlantic on the inaugural Carrier Strike Group with HMS Queen Elizabeth.
“This included stop-offs in Halifax Nova Scotia, Miami and Boston. I have also operated in the Arctic Ocean, conducting freedom of navigation exercises and anti-submarine patrols. “It can be hard work, but the rewards are worth it. Qualifying to land a big helicopter on the back of a small ship at sea has been a career highlight.”
