LEISURE: Watch Top Gun at the Fleet Air Arm Museum

PEOPLE will get another chance to watch the smash-hit movie Top Gun starring Tom Cruise on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier experience at the Fleet Air Arm Museum at RNAS Yeovilton.

Film fan Paul Bodgers, of Ilminster, who runs his own movie club called Starlight Cinema, was overjoyed with the success of Top Gun when he screened it at the Fleet Air Arm Museum near Yeovil earlier this year.

Now he is looking forward to another bumper crowd on Saturday, April 29, 2017, with doors open at 6.30pm and the film starting at 7.30pm.

Tickets are available from Starlight Cinema website at http://www.starlight-cinema.co.uk/# .

It is scary to think that the Top Gun movie was made in 1986 – 31 years ago – and starred the likes of Tom Cruise, Kelly McGillis, Val Kilmer, Anthony Edwards and Tom Skerritt.

The movie centres around Lt Pete “Maverick” Mitchell (Tom Cruise), a young Naval aviator aboard the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise, and his Radar Intercept Officer Nick “Goose” Bradshaw (Edwards) who are given the chance to train at the Navy’s Fighter Weapons School at Miramar in San Diego.

With plenty of fast-moving action in the air, there is also plenty of romance between Cruise’s character and that of Top Gun instructor Charlotte “Charlie” Blackwood, played by McGills.

The movie has a superb sound track and the flight deck of the aircraft carrier experience at the Fleet Air Arm Museum at RNAS Yeovilton, near Yeovil, should provide a fantastic backdrop for the film.

Paul will also be showing Top Gun again on Saturday, May 20, 2017, with doors opening at 6.30pm in readiness for the film starting at 7.30pm.
