Before we all get too excited let’s just remember that the 2020 G7 was held by video conference due to the COVID situation. Seems all too likely we could we heading for a similar situation this year? It would be a real blow to us here in Cornwall which all too often is very quiet in our uncrowned sk...

Fair comment. And as far as I know still well over 3000 personnel at the base.

AHA Events have advised me there will be 2020 Yeovilton air show but the date has yet to be confirmed.

C-17 took off from Newquay at 1530 this afternoon and routed towards Lands End initially. Perhaps to join airways.

The Tornados have not - as of last week - arrived at Newquay. Turn off the St. Columb to Newquay Road where signs say Aerohub. Continue past the former Nimrod hangar and park just beyond. The Cobham hangar is to the west beyond a tall wire fence. The Cornwall Aviation Museum is well worth a visit. T...

A FRA Falcon pilot at an airshow indicated to me that the Falcons will be taken out of service around 2019/20. Can't vouch for the accuracy of this info but they have been worked fairly hard over a period of many years.

I watched the Sea Fury incident from barely 100 yards from the runway threshold. The display was going as planned until suddenly white smoke emerged from the engine. Moments later the engine began to misfire and the pilot was headed away from Helston townand began losing height and then turned for a...

Hi from breezy mid-Cornwall.. Only aircraft seen this morning: C-130J routing east at 2000 ft or so and a Twin Otter.. I'll keep looking !

It was indeed a sad day to see 771 disband but as indicated on this site, the Sea Kings were old and sadly bringing in contractors seems to be the way forward. I note from the Royal Aeronautical Society magazine that around two thirds of the 200 or so of the personnel now involved in civilian SAR ar...

Today is the last full day of SAR coverage provided over so many years from Culdrose by 771. XV670 was airborne a few minutes ago. The Navy have done a splendid job for us here in Cornwall over so many years and will be greatly missed .

How about the Coventry based Shackleton or East Kirkby's Lancaster as the next big success story gracing our skies though I appreciate it may be some time before either is ready to take to the skies

1155 two Apaches seen St.Austell low level routing towards Culdrose

Saw the first Puma at 1505 just south of St.Austell heading for Culdrose from Benson, callsign Warlock 1 and second example nearly 15 minutes later Warlock 2.

The Shackleton still resides In its longtime location down in the RAF area, and whilst it still looks pretty tidy externally thanks to all the hard work of the Cornish Aviation Society little if any work is now being undertaken and I think the aircraft has been fenced off by the RAF who are keen to ...

I was at Roadford Reservoir and saw a Tornado very low and fast at 1210 headed Launceston direction. Later I saw two F-15s at around 1500ft at 1840 headed north . I was east of Davidstow at the time, they had presumably been doing several north/south runs in the preceeding half hour or so but could ...

Saw Monday's Herk do two approaches in to NQY, passed over here south of St. Austell twice about twenty minutes gap between the two.

Thanks Kyle, it did an overshoot at Newquay around 1440

Not sure,Buzzer, but Apple Aviation are moving in to Newquay so presumably the structure going up at present is (hopefully) their hangar and one of their roles is aircraft breaking as well as undertaking maintenance. Any increase signs of activity at Newquay are most welcome .

Thanks Kyle and Nick, as you say, a rare visitor. I am off to take a look at Classic Air Force later, open again today after the winter shutdown and will take a look to see if it is still here

Heard here south of St.Austell at 2220 tonight prop type heading in to Newquay, nothing showing on flightradar, heard call saying in for a full stop. Any ideas ? If a civvie, my apologies but why nothing on flightradar ?
