Well I say log, struggled to see anything here. There was a Virgin airbus (not needed) opposite the terminal. Earlier I saw a C-17 go in around 17:30 to 18:00 ish but it either overshot, left or I couldn’t see it in the drizzle at 20:30. Surprise (for me) was both Cornwall air ambulance MD900s (CNWL CIOS) in a nicely lit hanger with big windows on SW side not far from the plastic Spitfire. Easily read from the road. That was a result.

better luck this morning (12/7). You can park for free for 30 mins either side of the terminal and a short walk to the left onto the long stay yielding
G-GAOH Robin
G-BHZH C152
G-TEFC PA-28
N18916 SR
N141KJ SR
N199ZZ SR
on the far side was a Virgin 340, I can read the name off my photo if anyone interested. You can see the VC-10 and 1-11 from here too.
Alas the SAR hanger was shut meaning MCGZ remains elusive for me. I read Y off at Lands End earlier this week. I did see Z turning final from the Eden project yesterday but too far away to read off.
At Spitfire corner a Canberra front fuselage is behind the hedge next to the plastic Spitfire.
Both MD900s remained hanger as per last night.
If anyone is down here I would fully recommend the Falcon Inn in St.Mawgan. A challenge to park but the food and service were excellent!

Hi Bob
I asked to be shown around the Air Ambulance hangar a couple of years ago and was granted access. Intersting to learn of the Canberra section at Spitfire corner, I shall have to park in the layby there and take a peek next time I'm working down there.

It’s to the right of the Spitfire between the house and fence backing onto the lay-by. Easily seen but easily missed if you drive by from air ambulance direction.

Additions noted early Saturday 13/7 so I suspect arrived the day before
CS-CHH challenger (parked by VS Airbus)
G-JDPB Piper with covers on.
Coastguard hanger half open but the S-92 (with tractor attached) not readable as doors not quite open enough. “GY” was flying later according to Planefinder. Air ambulance hanger all shut up and no lights on so I didn’t stop to ask for a photo.

Hi Bob, I'm reliably informed that the Canberra at Spitfire corner is WT525

Update on the Canberra nose (via FC)
It is in fact the nose from B.2 WD954 from before it was converted to a T.4 to go to Australia (with a new nose).
WT525 was a T.22 and had the pointy nose. It is thought to be in one of the HAS used by Newquay College. |
