Hi all,
It seems an age since I posted anything on the forum, to much work and not enough play! Here are a few shots from Newquay Airport (my new home), they were taken on the roof of the control tower or beside the western taxiway. Apologies for the quality, it’s been a while since I have picked up my camera and used CS.

Nice ones Si. Good to see some shots from Mawgan. Haven’t been there for years but the good ole China Clay background brings back memories of waiting for things to happen, like a plane to come in. During the wait it was a case of observing the wildlife around the place. Do you still get the lizards running around the ground ?
Nothing much has changed since your last visit….except the Lizards are probably a little older! On average there are around 30 movements with the Air Southwest, Ryr to ALC, GIR and STN, Baby to MAN, BAW to LGW, the odd spattering of Flybe Dash 8’s and ERJs and of course the Skybus Otters. No real military stuff now with 15 Sqdn (GR4’s) completing the last operational detachment to the base a few weeks ago. When not working, I am bored quite a lot of the time!!!
Thanks for the comments

Great shots there. I especially like the 3rd one, great angle there with the above view of the wing and engine!

Very nice indeed, Si. Looks like you have access to some fantasitc spots there. Really good to see you posting again!
I may indeed have to try get down to Newquay sometime soon. Cornwall is the one county in the UK I’ve never been to and I think it’s about time I did! I’m guessing there are plenty of opportunities for non-aviation shooting around there as well?
