Hmmm …..Awkward
Erm changing the subject slightly [assuming this ‘is’ now a general thread on St Eval]
I am trying to investigate a plane crash on Mawgan Porth beach that happened while the St Eval Base was active. I have spent a few days now trying to find some sort of information on the plane type and its crew and as yet i cant even find it listed :confused: i know the exact location of the crash. I remember looking for and finding pieces of it as a kid in the 80’s after my uncle had told me that he had done the same in the 50’s. On his next trip to visit he presented me with the fuel mixture control that he had found there some 25-30 years before which as far as i know is still in my possession today. 😎
does anyone have any ideas as to where i might be able to get hold of the relevant info ?

Also does anyone know if there is an archive of St Eval photographs anywhere ? I used to play in the buildings up there in the 80’s too, sadly they have all been leveled now back then i had no idea of the important role the airbase played in the war……. You live, you learn
