    It’s still good, even if it’s not a proper formation flight.
    I was so lucky to get a go of formation flying. My friend Tony Crowe phoned me one day in June 2010 and wanted a pilot to fly with him as he was going to be taking pics. I told him I had never done formation flying before and he said i’ll learn as we go along.. 😀 We flew along side a Chipmunk and a Pitts Special. One of the best flights i’ve ever been on!
    Always nice to have the airfield to yourself, Moggy! Nothing and no one else to worry about!

    It’s ashame that the locals rejected the new heliport idea and now have lost BIH in the process, but atleast they get another supermarket out of it which will lead to more congestion 😀 :rolleyes:

    In all seriousness though, it does look like a nice area for use as a small airfield. Too bad that the buildings will be knocked down asap, rather than used to their potential.

    Supermarkets seem to be everywhere and oversaturate in some areas. When I lived near the Pool industrial estate in Redruth I had 3 options for tescos – One in redruth town, one near pool market and one just inside Camborne.. not to mention Morrisons (formerly Safeway, where I worked just before I learnt to fly and went on to work at the flying school) that was 5mins walk from my old house!

    Nice photo of such a sad day. Ashame they won’t keep it as an airfield, surely it would be an idea with hangarage there etc.

    I will definitely miss them. I enjoyed my work experience with them at LHR in 1999 when I was 15!
    Definitely my favourite airline.
    Lovely photos.

    I think I only ever spoke to Penzance over the RT once, but they were a nice and helpful group!

    Hopefully all the personnel will find jobs elsewhere soon.

    Sad news. A friend of mine is a pilot for them, but obviously not for much longer.
    Such ashame they could no longer make such a long standing service work anymore.
