Tuesday 28th April 2009 - RNAS Culdrose

Advance announcement of a visit not to be missed.

All of us in this area will be familiar with the red and grey Sea King helicopters of 771 Naval Air Squadron which is tasked primarily with military and civilian Search and Rescue in an area covering the Cornish peninsula, the Isles of Scilly, Western English Channel and the South West approaches within a 200 nautical mile radius.

However, Royal Naval Air Station Culdrose is also one of the largest helicopter bases in the world with operational responsibilties for surveillance, anti submarine warfare and advanced training of pilots and observers.

We will have an opportunity to learn more about the work of this famous base in our Local Interest session on 11th March. For those who would like to experience a slice of their work at first hand, further details of our visit will be published in the new year.
