Hi Chaps,

was reading this article on the beeb ( http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cornwall-18776203 ) and noticed the last paragraph talked about "In June, the Classic Aircraft Trust announced it would be moving from Coventry to Newquay" So I did a bit of digging...

It's taken some time to decide where they want to go hasn't it. Typically, now I've moved closer to Coventry, they're moving further away :lol:

Good news that they've found somewhere.Unfortunately it's a really long way from here.I've had some really enjoyable visits to Coventry in the past.It was always especially convenient when we lived in the midlands. :) EricT

It is a shame it's so remote and not a fast road.

However it's a nice part of the country so could form the nucleus of a few days down there :)

At least the collections been saved and a call in at Yeovilton would add to the trip :)

Bit far of the bike though Eric :lol:

My guess is they're aiming to tap into the market formed by the vast mass of humanity who clog the roads up in Cornwall every summer thinking the same thing. Which is why I never visit my parents in August!
