There are rumours of crated Harleys buried at Trebelsue, along with B-24 spares. In the late ’80s a Nimrod was tasked with doing a MAD search over the area – surprise surprise, nothing found.
Growing up at St Mawgan you always heard these stories, or urban myths. what I wonder is why vast numbers of airframes would be taken to Cornwall, and how come I never come across eye witness acounts of aircraft (or engines) landing or coming in on trucks etc.
Almost all the heavy stuff left Mawgan during ’45 (much it going to fledgling European Airforces). The aircraft that were beyond repair were bulldozed into the station dump (cant find anything there, other than a Shack).
