The Royal Naval rum was measured in half-gill tots and variously diluted, often into a two-gill (half-pint) measure. Our measures are made in the time-honoured way - from skilfully hand-beaten brass which is copper-plated, polished and then lined with silver to neutralise taste. Practical as well as ornamental.

During five years of research for the four volumes of the Fleet Air Arm Boys book series, (see below) covering the post-war FAA, former personnel not only contributed a huge quantity of stories but also sent many thousands of photographs, largely taken by themselves, and mostly never previously seen. It soon became clear that what was needed was a stand-alone photograph-heavy book, showing off many of these superb photos to best effect by giving them up to a full page or more with high quality reproduction.

Whereas the ‘Fleet Air Arm Boys’ books are all about fascinating stories supported by photos, here you have fascinating photos supported by some explanation and the occasional short story. The opportunity has also been taken to expand the coverage to cover the whole history from the start of the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) before the First World War to today, illustrating the changing equipment and roles of the service.

Coverage is not limited to just a large representative group of aircraft, but also includes many ships and air stations. Most importantly, air and ground crew are highlighted throughout, both at work and at play, and those who lost their lives are suitably remembered.

Flying with the Navy is a once-in-a-lifetime publication and a must-have for all devotees of this truly astounding branch of the armed forces.

Fleet Air Arm Centenary Whisky and Gin

We are delighted to be able to offer you Navy Wings' Whisky and Gin to celebrate this year’s Centenary of the formation of the Fleet Air Arm in 1924.

To celebrate this momentous milestone, we have partnered with London & Scottish International to create these wonderful bottles of Whisky and Gin.

Fleet Air Arm Centenary Single Malt Whisky

This 10 year old, complex single malt Whisky is viscous, smooth and savoury on the palate. It is noted for its warming pastry, vanilla, oak and earthy flavours. The additional barrel age has mellowed this spirit beautifully allowing the fruit flavours to develop gently in the glass. At no stage are the components disjointed or overpowered by alcohol or the peat.

The flavours are gentle and balance each other beautifully from the first smell through to the long finish.

70cl 46% abv

Fleet Air Arm Centenary Small Batch Gin

Our Small Batch London Dry Gin has aromas of Alpine Forest, with lively green pine and leafy herbs. It has big, bold robust flavours with brilliant juicy juniper followed by a smooth woody spice and clean citrus notes leading to a strong lingering finish.

70cl 43% abv

Please note that the drinkware accompanying the whisky and gin in some images is purely for illustration purposes and is not supplied as standard.

Navy Wings Whisky and Gin is currently only available to customers based in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, Guernsey and Jersey.

Raise a glass to the Fleet Air Arm with this classic glass pint tankard.

The ever popular Fly Navy logo is carefully etched rather than printed so it will last forever and not disappear courtesy of the dishwasher.

Exclusive to Navy Wings.

Cheers!

Ship's Bells

While not being on the scale of Big Ben, these are very substantial, heavyweight bells and have been supplied to world navies and shipping companies as well as pleasure boaters and home owners. Each is manufactured in the finest age old tradition - sand-cast solid brass turned and polished to an immaculate sheen. These are very solid and very sonorous bells, redolent of those on ships on which you may have served. They are unlacquered so they don't discolour, but will develop an attractive and authentic patina over time.

The Fly Navy motif is exclusive to Navy Wings

Lanyard supplied separately

These bell ropes are hand-tied in natural colour cotton with traditional knots, and make the essential finishing touch to a ship's bell.

Our bell ropes are hand-tied in natural colour cotton with traditional knots, and make the essential finishing touch to a ship's bell.

Quayside bells are supplied with a cotton bell rope.

Bells are made to order, so there may be a short delay.

Ideal for any aviation enthusiast. These unique bookends feature genuine aircraft gauges and parts from classic aircraft of the 60's and 70's.

It isn't always possible to be specific because many components were used in more than one aircraft type and some were alternatives to the standard type factory fitted.

Sold in pairs and made from English oak, these beautiful handmade items are treated with a wax and oil finish to bring out the pattern of the grain and to protect the wood.

Standard - Approx 19cm high x  20cm wide
Large -  Approx 29 x 20 x 22

N.B. The appearance may vary from the illustration in terms of the markings/colour of the wood and the type and number of gauges.

These are made to order, so there may be a delay in shipping.

The Duke of Wellington said of Waterloo, that it was 'the nearest-run thing you ever saw in your life'. The same could be said of the Falkland's Campaign in 1982. A campaign fought at a distance of over 8000 miles, apparently hopelessly outnumbered in the air (50% losses were anticipated in the first week) and on the ground and all from a completely self contained, but isolated naval battle group.

And yet.....

On June 14th, 74 days after the surprise invasion, the Union Flag flew once more over Port Stanley. While the territory was won on the ground, it couldn't have been achieved without the Sea Harriers dominating the airspace and the support of helicopters working tirelessly carrying personnel and munitions and fighting as gunships. 

These smart, high quality, commemorative polo shirts illustrate the enormous contribution of the Fleet Air Arm to the ultimate and historic victory.

Any occasion, iconic, high quality gift wrap paper.

Perfect for all Fleet Air Arm personnel both retired and present (excuse the pun).
