Wasn’t he featured in one of the magazines a couple of months ago?

Have been watching one of the wartime information films – think it was called something along the lines of ‘pieces of our aircraft are missing’ – highlighting the problems of kids taking souvenirs from crash sites – the aircraft (wreck) used being a Blenheim, seemingly fitted with tailplane parts possibly from a DH Albatross (!) and called the ‘Marlborough’ ……

I managed this very poor screenshot of the ‘Marlborough’ – what are those fins from? (apologies to HM Crown copyright etc etc!)

Boulton & Paul Overstrand

Both Predannack and Perranporth were RAF(Air Ministry) and the Admiralty needed a new airfield in that part of the world, thats one story I have been told.

Sorry I should have added Portreath to the list too! There were several instances of airfields being transferred between the Air Min and Admiralty during the war, so I would have thought that post war it should have been much easier, given the general run down of requirements …….. except around Helston!
