Ye Olde Footage from St Mawgan

Stumbled across this from 1990

camera guy got his priorities wrong near the end (derrrr).

OOooo St Mawgan air days - used to go every year ... much better than Culdrose

Even flew from the 1986 St Mawgan air day in Concorde as part of the air day itself

Shame its all closed now - we are just left with Culdrose - and that's getting really boring ... it'd be nice to see XH558 down here ....last time I saw her fly was at Culdrose many years ago

Shame there's no sound track but here's a few memories of what flew from St Mawgan over the years ...

nice clips chaps - ta!

Mawgan's getting very boring altogether these days - 99% civvy stuff

Anyone remember the Green and Brown Nimrods ?

Only one of each.. not sure if it was a paint 'cock up' or deliberate but it happened. Can't find any links to them yet - working on it.

Seem to recall that one of the AEW3's was a greenish colour. Used to see them around HMS Deadalus from time to time, flying up and down the Solent.

This site has loads of Nimrod piccies: http://www.targetlock.org.uk/nimrod/index.html You may find the ones you're after here.
