Behind the Scenes of HMS Sultan

Fort Rowner, Fleet Air Arm Aircraft Tours, Airfield & Marine Engineering Museum Tour                      

 9am & 1.30pm

The HMS SULTAN site has been home to all three branches of the armed forces.  See behind the scenes and hear the history of the Army, RAF and Navy on this fascinating site where submariners are trained today.

Fort Rowner and Fort Grange were home to the Army from 1862 until the First World War and then became an airfield used for pilot training. After the war, the RAF developed the airfield further and it was used jointly with the Royal Navy. After the Second World War the Fleet Air Arm took charge until it was closed in 1956. HMS SULTAN was then formed for training Royal Navy marine engineers.

Tickets: Minimum donation £5 per person. Children (under 15yrs) are free

FILM NIGHT

HMS Alliance Movie Night Presents

Above Us the Waves

It’s Submarine Movie Night….a great film, fantastic fish n’ chips and a glass of wine in the company of fine fellows

above_us_the_waves_1956 

Above Us the Waves, directed by Ralph Thomas, tells the true-life story of human torpedo and midget submarine attacks on the German battleship Tripitz. The screenplay was based on the book of the same name by C.E.T Warren and James Benson. A classic to be enjoyed time and time again……especially with submariners!

 Please dress appropriately (submariner’s jumper or other! ….)

 Tickets: Minimum donation of £15, includes Fish & Chip supper and a glass of wine.
