Don’t be. Cornwall is very desolate during the spring/winter months, in my experience. And far from any airshows of note, except Culdrose – which is midweek, so not so good for working locals and schoolchildren.
Bournemouth (home of the Sea Vixen) is over 140 miles from Plymouth. You can add 60 miles plus to that for mid-cornwall.

G-CVIX, Hope you don’t mind if I borrow your thread title to post a few pics from Lowestoft, same scenario, different players, opposite side of country.
Keith.

Lucky sod for both having Sea Kings flying over on a regular basis and for living in Cornwall ! I visit every year just down the road from you near Godolphin.

Hi G-CVIX,
Nice shots – reminds me of holidays in Cornwall when I was a bit shorter than I am now 🙂
Attached is a pic from my old Hanimax 110 of a 771 sqn Wessex HAR.5 at the Coverack Lifeboat day 1985 taken at the ripe age of 10
I’m trying not to be too jealous of where u live – beautiful part of the world!!
