In recent memory the annual competition between the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force has alternated between the establishments of the two Services, HMS Temeraire in Portsmouth when the Royal Navy host and RAF Halton in Buckinghamshire when it is the turn of the Royal Air Force. However this year, the two Unions decided that, in the 100th anniversary year of the Royal Air Force, it was time to bring the competition to a more prestigious location, to enable the growing number of supporters to be able to attend the match.
