Opening soon, after (yet another) rebranding.

Classic Air Force is the new operating name of the Trust, and the name Classic Aircraft Trust will not be used in any marketing or operational activities, as we want ONE racy name that will sound attractive and encourage people to visit the new Classic Air Force base at Newquay Airport (ex. RAF St Mawgan), which will be opening on Saturday 23 March 2013.

I understand that the CAF maintenance base will stay at Coventry and the airframes they've moved we're the permanent non-flyers. Those in the restoration queue, such as WK163, would not be making the journey until they could fly down.
