Some photos from a busy Newquay Airport. It was a bit like the good old St Mawgan days.
Around lunchtime an RAF Hercules was doing circuits.
Later in the day whilst at Padstow I saw two low level Hercules which dropped into the airport briefly.
I then saw the RCAF CP-140 was heading back over Wales, so I rushed down to Newquay, (reversing into a concrete post in the process)!
The weather had clouded over briefly, however the CP-140 did a missed approach before landing second time. The weather brightened up afterwards!
It was up and about most days last week, even on Saturday.

It has been nice to see a MPA operating from the airfield again, the Aurora has been flying most days. Today has seen a Dutch NH90 and the regular Draken FA20s visit.

I saw one of the FA-20s leave on Thursday. It was good to see the CP-140 using Newquay as a base.
