Funny this thread should reappear as I was only chatting to my Dad last night about his memories of a Mosquito crash near Cury. He remembers seeing the glow in the sky (from the burning a/c) from the Bowling Green in Helston. He also had a piece of a Whirlwind (fighter) that crashed close to the road to Gunwalloe but unfortunately cannot find this anymore. We visited the crash site a few years ago in the hope that something, however small, might have been on the surface, but of course we are talking about 60 years ago and nothing can be seen.

I have to say it is fascinating hearing his stories. Last summer he took me for a blat in his new hot hatch around the Lizard and as we were driving down one road approaching Predannack from the East he said, “I remember riding down this road with my father in a bread van and we had a Mosquito coming from behind us on the approach and I was saying to Dad (as a 6 year old would), come on Dad, let’s race the Mosquito!” He also remembers seeing Wellingtons being bombed up at Predannack and Typhoons flying over at tree top level on their way into Predannack…

Sorry, I will stop now for fearing of boring you all to death!!
