Seems I have a few from this day, including a Northolt Nightshoot from 2011. I'll start off with a couple from a year ago today. Westland doing some training at the disused airfield at Davidstow Moor, the wife and hound waiting patiently in a car in the background. https://live.staticflickr.com/6553...

19/01/18 Shadow R1 - Newquay 19/01/17 Dauphin - Newquay 19/01/16 Sea King HC4 - Bodmin Moor This Shadow was a lucky catch. My wife, daughter and I had just had a pub lunch (remember them!) in Newquay and as you do, asked them if they wouldn't mind if we made a quick stop at the Airport on the way ho...

15th Jan 20, my first day of the year back at Cornwall Aviation Heritage Centre and I found myself painting fences (all the interesting jobs had been nabbed by other volunteers). Fence painting suited me fine, switch off brain and get on with it while listening to my scanner for anything of interest...

13/01/15 at Newquay. Westland had been based there for a few months training Nigerian AW101 crew.

Thanks Gents, unfortunately the weather is not often that nice. This is more usual, from Newquay - 2 years ago today. Just before starting, the very friendly crew came over to the fence for a chat and gave my very excited three year old grandaughter some stickers / tattoos etc. I remember the pilot ...

A quick look at my little black book threw up these from Newquay - 11/01/18: https://live.staticflickr.com/4662/38783516405_d32a61339a_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/4750/39660147482_fbfc595731_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/4658/38994161934_9622d7f996_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/4...

It has not been a bad year, one of the highlights was catching two of the new RAF Poseidons on the runway at St Mawgan (sorry - Newquay) back in June/July, what with the CP-140 in March it's almost been like the good old days. Otherwise it's been the usual chasing around some of the local likely spo...

Five years ago today 771 NAS held a final farewell joint exercise with the Lizard Lifeboat. The event was well advertised and many people gathered on the cliffs at Kilcobben Cove to witness the event. https://live.staticflickr.com/1504/24085911479_bc85df84e2_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/5646/...

A few taken locally:

Five years ago today at Newquay. It was cloudy as it taxied pass my usual spot so a run with my ladders was required. I just about managed to catch it with props running as it was shutting down. https://live.staticflickr.com/615/23751502965_cea4440429_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/5722/2375150...

Four years ago today I was doing what the chap in the background was doing, walking my dog at the disused airfield at Davidstow. His dog looked remarkably well disciplined, alas mine isn't and I had to shove mine in the car quickly. If there was a 48 hour comp for photos featuring horse/sheep/cow po...

A year ago today I stopped at Newquay on my way home. Just the usual stuff but the weather was nice so I hung around for an hour. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49169387366_071ebb89fa_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49177255751_ca2ca9a96b_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/4917...

The first show that I remember going to was the RAF St Mawgan BoB display in 1970, although my parents assured me they took me to a show there when I was a toddler. I've attended 2 or 3 Airshows every year (I think just RIAT in 1999) but haven't been to an Airshow since 2016. I miss the shows of the...

Four years ago today I tried a place I'd been to a few times, it's a bit of a slog, involves some guesswork and is often a waste of time: https://live.staticflickr.com/5757/30615616384_bcf46879e7_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/5598/31332559516_bcfde22089_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/5508...

One of the Enthusiast's tours of RNAS Culdrose. 26th Nov 2014: https://live.staticflickr.com/7556/15753484737_b28c99dde9_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/7481/15753484377_bf02d3ba4c_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/7525/15719310448_f229d31ff5_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/7525/1593002242...

Something a little different, very nice indeed.

BIH at Newquay dragged this out of the hangar for a rare appearance 3 years ago today.

Less than ideal weather at Newquay this day last year.
