Hundreds of Army personnel have also started to move in.

:00:30.:00:32.

It is the Navy's chance to show off its hardware.

:00:33.:00:36.

But this year the base is also in transition.

:00:37.:00:39.

These ageing Lynx helicopters will soon go, replaced by this,

:00:40.:00:41.

the new Wildcat, built down the road at Agusta

:00:42.:00:43.

This is a real step change in capability, technology and is

:00:44.:00:55.

a real quantum leap in what they deliver and it is quite an dxciting

:00:56.:01:01.

time, really, for us to devdlop a new aircraft with the potential to

:01:02.:01:04.

operate around the world and do what we did with the Lynx and do more

:01:05.:01:10.

Lynx pilots have just startdd their training on it.

:01:11.:01:16.

The first will take to the skies next week,

:01:17.:01:18.

We have a full glass cockpit and it is intuitive and easx.

:01:19.:01:26.

We can achieve a lot more whth the aircraft than we ever could

:01:27.:01:29.

We have updated radar and a much better picture of what is ott there.

:01:30.:01:37.

The camera on the front there as well, a brand`new camera,

:01:38.:01:40.

it means we can identify shhps much further out and we can watch things

:01:41.:01:43.

overland and relay that to the troops on the ground.

:01:44.:01:46.

Over the next few years, Yeovilton will also become home to

:01:47.:01:49.

500 Army personnel as part of the government's long term plan

:01:50.:01:53.

There will be five squadrons here by next year.

Tributes have been paid tod`y to Ben Pocock, who was killed hn

:02:04.:02:20.

in Bristol for almost ten ydars following in the footsteps

:02:26.:02:28.

There was a minute's silencd before all three of their games today.

:02:29.:02:33.

This was at the club's home ground in Brislington.

:02:34.:02:42.

It was quite moving, really, in a way, because all of us feel

:02:43.:02:45.

different ways about these tragedies that happen,but it was so nhce that

:02:46.:02:48.

It has been really sad for everybody here because Ben grew

:02:49.:02:53.

up with us from a young lad and has come up through the teams.

:02:54.:02:58.

He will be so sadly missed by all that knew him

:02:59.:03:01.

and especially by the club, where his family are so involved.

:03:02.:03:07.

We have been adding some gold into the mix in our

:03:08.:03:10.

Last night Bath based Judoker Megan Fletcher took gold

:03:11.:03:13.

There was a gold for swimmer Chris Walker`Hebborn

:03:14.:03:17.

And today Gloucestershire's Vicky Holland helped bag another gold

In this morning's rhythmic gymnastics, Cricklade's Laura

:03:28.:03:32.

Halford won bronze in the Rhythmic Individual All Round and a

:03:33.:03:35.

The residents of a village have set up a fake Street `` speed c`mera

:03:36.:03:53.

they see that the camera has made a difference. The council says it will

:03:54.:03:57.

work to see what speed control measures are appropriate.

:03:58.:04:02.

We have had a lot of warm stnshine through the afternoon and wd are

:04:03.:04:06.

Now, any showers will die away, we'll see some clouds spillhng in

:04:07.:04:11.

from the west and a fairly luggy and sticky night to come, I'm afraid.

:04:12.:04:14.

Lows in towns and cities, 17 to 18 Celsius.

:04:15.:04:17.

The good news is, though, as we go through tomorrow wd see

the winds come round to the North West, bringing some f`irly

:04:23.:04:24.

One or two showers tomorrow but on the whole a dry and a bright day.

:04:25.:04:29.

And those temperatures dropping a good four or five degrees

:04:30.:04:31.

on what we had today, so noticeably cooler, around what they should be

:04:32.:04:34.

Highs around 22, possibly 23 Celsius.

:04:35.:04:39.

As we go into the working wdek, we will see a mixture

:04:40.:04:42.

of warm spells and sunshine and scattered heavy showers.

:04:43.:04:44.

It has been pretty busy on the M5 southbound today as you would expect

:04:45.:04:50.

It is predicted there will be more of the same tomorrow so do what

A bit of a change on the way, in fact it has already started in the
