Cornwall Heritage Museum

Post by Tronk 11 » Fri Apr 19, 2019 7:49 am

Hi,
I have been trying to find a full list of aircraft at the museum, but as of yet can't find a full list. I especially need the number of the lynx stored at the back of the HAS please.
Many thanks.

Went there last Thursday- dedicated enthusiasts on hand with their friendly approach and knowledge- definitely worth a visit.

Brilliant, I’d heard rumours it had closed so thanks for confirming the opposite. Heard there was an A400m doing circuits yesterday, unfortunately before I arrived. Hoping for more this week!

For those of you who like nightshoots, or perhaps want to go on a day when it's all about the enthusiast and more exhibits are outside, you may find this interesting... https://www.threshold.aero/events/14-Se ... p144799219

Currently East abeam Bath, heading SW at 5975ft is A400M ZM412 - ASCOT 463.

Height would suggest heading to Exeter or Newquay for circuit work :thumb:
