Cornwall's only civil owned airfield which is available for general aviation has been put up for sale.

Perranporth airfield on the cliffs in North Cornwall has a guide price of £950,000. Its current owners are retiring.

The 330 acre (134 hectares) was originally built as a Spitfire base in World War II.

The airfield was built in 1941 for the RAF. It has three hard surface runways and two grass strips.



Perhaps Ozzy will want a place to run around pretending he's a Spitfire making Merlin noises*.

(*Not that he already doesn't)

Sadly it will probably get bought by a property developer, who will turn it into a nice exclusive community. He will make ten times the asking price for the land in house sales.

I'd join in with a tank.


Just erase the national markings and no one will ever find out...

Air cover for the heist, probably better of going to Wattisham for an Apache.

Cool - if only SimV could buy it...think of the possibilities Grin

About the world bank heist:
Okay guys, here's the plan - I'll distract the cops and you go in through the back door. Then MrJake brings the getaway vehicle (with Bjorn's tank support) up, Anark arrives in the Tornado and covers the skies, we get the money, exit the building, cover it in marmalade, and with tank and air support, we're off.

Sound like a plan? Grin
