50 Years In The Commando Role – having celebrated this milestone earlier this year 845 Naval Air Squadron, flying SEA KING HC4 helicopters, based at Yeovilton; awarded the prestigious Breitling Trophy for achieving the best overall assessment during a naval flying standards inspection in recognition of professionalism and excellence in naval aviation marking them out as the best in the Fleet Air Arm.    With the Squadron operating at such a high tempo, with personnel and aircraft returning from Afghanistan, preparing to go to sea on board the Helicopter Carrier ILUSTRIOUS, or on exercise in the Highlands of Scotland, the inspection could not have come at a busier time.
