787 Naval Air Squadron (787 NAS) was a Naval Air Squadron of the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm which disbanded in January 1956. It formed in March 1941, at HMS Heron, RNAS Yeovilton, out of 804 Naval Air Squadron as a Fleet Fighter Development Unit. Almost every type of fighter was received by the squadron for testing and evaluation for naval use. A move to RAF Duxford in June 1941 saw it become the Naval Air Fighting Development Unit, attached to the Royal Air Force's Air Fighting Development Unit. The squadron undertook rocket projectile test, continuous development of fighter tactics and even helping Torpedo Bomber Reconnaissance squadrons in evading fighter attack. Post Second World War it continued its trials task and also undertook Rebecca radar trials and ASH, US-built air-to-surface-vessel radar trials.
787 Naval Air Squadron formed at RNAS Yeovilton (HMS Heron), in Somerset, England, on 5 March 1941 and tasked as a Fleet Fighter Development Unit.[3] The unit formed out of 804 Naval Air Squadron and was initially equipped with five Gloster Sea Gladiator, a British biplane fighter aircraft and three Fairey Fulmar, a British carrier-borne reconnaissance and fighter aircraft.[2] As different types of fighter aircraft were introduced for service the squadron tested and evaluated them for naval use.[3] It would test the aircraft’s capabilities, enabling it to devise tactics for use against enemy aircraft,[2] and part the role was comparative testing of captured aircraft, for example the squadron contrasted a Fairey Fulmar Mk.II against a Fiat CR.42 Falco, an Italian sesquiplane fighter aircraft, and a Grumman Martlett Mk I, an American carrier-based fighter aircraft, against a Messerschmitt Bf 109E, a German fighter aircraft.[3]
On 18 June 1941, 787 NAS moved to RAF Duxford, in Cambridgeshire, to become the Naval Air Fighting Development Unit, attached to the RAF's Air Fighting Development Unit.[2] During January 1943 the squadron began development around the use of rocket projectiles with naval aircraft, forming a ‘Z’ Flight which operated out off RNAS St Merryn (HMS Vulture) and conducted trials at the Treligga Range,[3] under the code-name 'Glowworm'.[2] The RAF's Air Fighting Development Unit moved to RAF Wittering, in Cambridgeshire, and 787 NAS moved with it on 26 March 1943. It received new fighter aircraft acquiring Vought Corsair an American carrie-borne fighter aircraft, Fairey Firefly, a British carrier-borne fighter and anti-submarine aircraft, and Grumman Hellcat, an American carrier-based fighter aircraf, but was also now equipped with TBR aircraft: Fairey Barracuda a British carrier-borne torpedo and dive bomber and Grumman Avenger, an American torpedo bomber.[3]
The squadron formed ‘Y’ Flight at RNAS Arbroath (HMS Condor), in Angus, Scotland, in June 1944, which was known as the Fighter Affiliation Unit and which was equipped with Supermarine Seafire, a navalised version of the Supermarine Spitfire fighter aircraft, and a small number of Bristol Blenheim, light bomber aircraft, with the latter being used as target aircraft.[2] The flight travelled around, visiting various operational squadrons, demonstrating fighter tactics and in particular to the TBR units, defensive flying.[3] July 1944 saw the disbandment of ‘Z’ Flight, however, ‘Y’ Flight continued into 1945,[2] based firstly at RNAS Burscough (HMS Ringtail) in Lancashire from August 1944 through to November with a variety of different aircraft,[4] then moving briefly to RNAS Ballyhalbert (HMS Corncrake), in County Down, Northern Ireland, for two weeks mid-February 1945, before relocating to RNAS Machrihanish (HMS Landrail), in Argyll and Bute, Scotland.[5] where it disbanded (becoming 'B' Flight of 736 Naval Air Squadron at RN Air Section Speke on 1 March 1945).[2]
As well in March, 787 Naval Air Squadron moved to RAF Tangmere, in West Sussex, the new home of Air Fighting Development Unit, which then become the Air Fighting Development Squadron of the Central Fighter Establishment, while 787 Naval Air Squadron became the Air Support Development Section of the Naval Air Fighting Development Unit. It again formed an ‘X’ Flight, this time at RAF Odiham, in Hampshire and was equipped with three Grumman Hellcat fighter aircraft and an Avro Anson, a multi-role aircraft, this Flight undertook Rebecca radar trails.[3] The squadron also had a detachment at RNAS Ford (HMS Peregrine), West Sussex, starting on 29 April 1945.[6] It was formed of five Fairey Firefly for trials with ASH, an American air-to-surface vessel (ASV) radar. After VE Day the squadron was intended to deploy 'X' Flight to the Far East, however, the plan was cancelled following V-J Day.[3]
Following a short spell at RAF Westhampnett, in West Sussex, from July, 787 Naval Air Squadron then moved to RAF West Raynham, in Norfolk, in November, where it absorbed 746 Naval Air Squadron on 30 January 1946. The squadron continued its trials role in the years following the Second World War, successively flying de Havilland Sea Hornet, a twin-engine fighter aircraft, Hawker Sea Fury, a carrier-based fighter aircraft, de Havilland Sea Vampire, a jet fighter, Supermarine Attacker, a jet fighter, Westland Wyvern, a carrier-based multi-role strike aircraft and Hawker Sea Hawk, a jet day fighter, before disbanding in January 1956.[2]

Historically, begging the question refers to a fault in a dialectical argument in which the speaker assumes some premise that has not been demonstrated to be true. In modern usage, it has come to refer to an argument in which the premises assume the concl…
