Classic Air Force, Newquay Cornwall Airport

I would just like to start a thread for this very new but excellent museum, Myself and the family visited here in august this year and found it very enjoyable and to say its fairly newly opened very well organised, with a nice collection of aircraft well laid out, very friendly staff and a well stocked shop and two cafe's which we used through our day there. Anyways a few pictures from the day.

I'm glad you enjoyed your visit, sorry I missed you !

Is the 1-11 going to be flying again?

Nobody seems to want to say no .... however, I think it unlikely simply due to cost. It is going to be kept live though, we started the engines the other day.

Music!! - Thanks for the link.

Anyone down here in Cornwall for the bank holiday may be interested to know that Plane Sailings Catalina will be here on Sat and Sunday. I believe it will be open for viewing.

I will let you know before we visit again next year so i can say hi, i did chat to both an ex navy chap that showed my children around the cockpit and i also asked a more mature gentleman outside to see if it possible to walk around the old control tower.

VC10 ZA148 has been accuired by the Classic Airforce from what I have been told. It is due to fly in on 28 August from Brize.

Thats right Rich, announced yesterday and I've got to say I'm just ever so slightly excited! ... Ex East African Airways EY-ADA Super 10 I believe.
TM - I would have happily shown you around the old ATC but it would have been outside only I'm afraid. Not an area CAF staff are allowed to go really although its not fenced offf....yet
