LarryH57 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 (edited) Anyone who knows Cornwall, with know of RAF St Mawgan. The CAHC is (or soon won't be) next to RAF Saint Mawgan, Newquay TR8 4JN Sadly it has been forced to close by the local council, and the site must be cleared immediately and they are in despirate need of temporary homes for some of their exhibits or even coveres or temporary structures for those exhibits that may have to be left out in the rain, and be ruined There was a plan to build a new museum nearby but that fell through, at the last moment. What is strange is on the one hand you have 'Visit Cornwall' Tourist Board and yet a council who wants this museum closed when there are no immediate plans to do anything with the site. Its not as if the diggers and construction are waiting to move in and start construction. Its just a bloody shame, the local council are not being helpful at all and it makes no sense. This was an award wining museum and has helped in the education of many local schools and groups My dad flew their nice looking Vickers Varsity and my cousin worked on their EE Lightning. To see them cut up for scrap would be a shame There is a petiotion on change.org of 50,000 signatures, against the decision.. Hopefully this link works https://chng.it/8bXPLXWhWB Any help from the MVT in the SW England area would greatly be appreciated timy-d@cornwallaviationhc.co.uk Tel: 01637 861962 Edited April 18, 2023 by LarryH57 Spellin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rootes75 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 I saw news of this posted on another forum and it's not good news. It's a pretty sad story if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
