Well done Phil.

Lovely set of shots mate. Couple there that I need.

Any more news on the closure of the museum? Where the frames might be going? 

The VC-10 and BAC 1-11 frames are close to priceless….

Hi Bill,

I honestly don't know what's going on with the museum side, I don't have much to do with them but managed to visit a couple of times. I hope the aircraft find good homes as it will be a very sad loss of aircraft indeed..

Thanks Phil for the photos . A location I must get to soon as I have not been there for many years although I made one or two quick visits since my time at St Mawgan and Culdrose during the seventies and eighties ! I think it MAY of changed a little since then ! I did glimpse the Virgin 747 as it came between clouds yesterday on it's run around the south west . Chrisj
