Today
15 members of 216 Sqn RAF, based at Brize Norton, flew into Davidstow
in 5 light aircraft, Rod will be able to tell us what they are. They spent
a couple of hours with us for lunch and a look around the museum. Planning
for this visit started some months ago and it is good to report that it was
a great success. Rod, Anne, John, Robbie, Sheila & Steve were present at
the museum. George, Bettie, Vyv and Barbara joined us at the airfield to
welcome them and to see them depart.
They are on Exercise Founding Fields, visiting former Coastal Command
airfields in the SW. They came to us from Chivenor and then flew onto St
Mawgan. They reported that they enjoyed their visit to us and plan to
return in the not too distant future. See photos in the Gallery
