Clinging to life at Predannack 4-1-10

Post by trend71uk »

Not sure if this is in the correct place , but here goes anyway.
As Monday was nice and sunny with no snow , thought i'd take a walk around Predannack before retuning to work after the Xmas break.
Several airframes reside here for fire and rescue training .

WT308 & sister ship WT309 used to be regular visitors to Culdrose and St Mawgan

I have to agree with the others, a fantastic set of photos, I was there three years ago now and had the blue skies as well, would love to back there someday, thanks for showing these,

Really interesting images, sad to see some of the aircraft in that state. How long has that Jag been there? :sad: The Wessex on their side are a bit weird, almost like dead insects!

The Jaguar arrived at Culdrose from DCAE on Oct 13th and moved to Predannack the following day.
