Fairey Gannet + More shots from today.

Postby mrjake2002 » Sat Feb 09, 2008 5:59 pm

Some shots from the cycle to/from Culdrose...

Firstly, went to visit the Fairey Gannet that used to sit on the gate at Flambards. She is being moved to Davidstow in the next month as Flambards can no longer keep her (hopefully I'll get some shots on the day).

Probably a good thing. When I went in the early 90s it was an interesting little collection, but since it was broken up it's not quite had the same care as the only airframe on site.

Pity about the fences... she deserves an unobstructed view.

Lovely sea-side shots too, btw.

They're temporary while she's moved I expect. :)

The fence in the car shot, I hope that is a jail and not what they put around the airport.

RNAS Culdrose is an operational Royal Navy base, hence the fence. ;)
