Although its been a few years since I last visited Cornwall Aero Park, could anybody please tell me the situation there regards the “Wreckage” that had been dragged up from the sea bed over the years.
I seem to remember bits and pieces from Heinkel 111s and other aircraft that were on show and have gone “walkies” of late.
Any info would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the info Pete.
Its been a few years since I was there and even then parts were beginning to get “flakey”.

HI DREM
was at CAP(now known as FLAMBARDS) last week,and the situation is as follows.
the gannet,and a wessex are still there,and the trawled up bits are in the same place as always(on the path to where the aircraft were)from memory there are recovered bits of hudson,heinkel111,sea fury,a jumo engine,merlin engine,turret canopies,a few props,and guns.it all looks a bit sad,and the cornish (salt laden) air is finishing them off slowly.the under cover area is well worth a visit with good examples of local avition history,including the barnes wallis experiments with wild goose,at predannack.
