Think yeovilton needs to pull its finger out before it gets left behind

Ah, well. It was fun while it lasted.
Still a bargain at £12.00 though.

Seemingly the Meteor x2 (F), plus a few others have confirmed.Taking shape nicely now.

Some nice additions, well for me at least. Belgian and German Sea Kings on static. Plus Sea Vixen flying display and a Tristar fly-through. I believe it will be only the second occasion a Tristar has ever visited CU.Also added, a Hawk T2 on static, plus an Amphibian on static - i guess the Amphibian will be that Cessna float-plane.

While we have got some great aircraft on the line up it would have been nice to see maybe an F-18 added to the list like up at Yeovilton. Maybe some of the RAF Typhoons and Tornados as well!

Just found another addition to the static in the shape of a Belgian AF Alpha Jet.

What a great find, Mike. A slight concern, though, is there is no mention of the Sea King for CU Air Day.With Koksijde having an open day on the very same day, perhaps the A/Jet replaces the Sea King?

Only just noticed this,Pete. Would certainly be nice to hear one thumping around again, must be quite a while since a UH-1 visited CU.The last occasion that i remember would be when the German Army pair visited, April 1990. Remember that day?
Neil Dunridge, you and me skived off school to catch them arrive, then got caught out in the snow blizzard!

Probably not news for anyone else, but i have just noticed that the Classic Air Force machines are arriving on the Tuesday.
Up to now i assumed they (excepting the Rapide) would depart Newquay, display at CU, then return to Newquay on show day.

Yet more reasons why you need to be there on arrival day. Like I will be

Post by **centaurus18** » Sat Jul 06, 2013 8:23 pm

Would love to be there for arrivals, what are the options for viewing off base?
Or would you recommend the enthusiasts package?

Malfatron Malkovic · Post by **Malfatron Malkovic** » Sat Jul 06, 2013 9:49 pm

If by 'enthusiasts package' you mean the preview event, it's been fully booked for a while now.
http://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/The-Fleet/A ... view-Event

As for off-base viewing. Well, provided the viewing enclosure is open - occasionally in the past it has been closed-- that will be the best place untill about midday, assuming 30 is duty runway.After midday, the junction with the Helson - St. Keverne road.

If 12 is duty runway, it'll probably be dog eat dog.

You planning on poping down?
Culdrose has never been anygood for"taxing" shots.but the fields at both ends of the runway are ideal for the landing snaps

Post by **Nick.M** » Thu Jul 11, 2013 3:20 pm

Taken from the Culdrose official website,

Military hardware already confirmed includes:

Royal Navy Black Cats - Lynx Helicopter Display Team Royal Navy Submarine Hunter Killer - Merlin HM 1 & 2, Commando Helicopter Force -`Junglie’ Sea King’s, Lynx Wildcat Maritime Force – Royal Navy Wildcat, RAF Red Arrows – Hawks, Royal Navy 736 Sqn – Hawks , Belgium – Search & Rescue Sea King , German Navy - Search & Rescue Sea King, Dutch Army - Apache and NH90 French Air Force - Alpha Jet. RAF – Tornado and a Special surprise star asset!

So what's the special surprise star asset??

Malfatron Malkovic · Post by **Malfatron Malkovic** » Thu Jul 11, 2013 3:36 pm

No idea what the star asset would be, my guess - purely a guess, mind - would be a static VC-10, certainly something military.
Also good news on the Tornado and Dutch NH-90!
