RAF St Mawgan

Excellent RAF base. Good view of civilian and military aircraft.

After a long travel to get to raf st mawgan weary from my travels i arrived to be lead to my acomadation for the week. Upon first look i was not over or under whelmed , the heating and hotwater worked the first night but for the remainder we had zero heating or hotwater shriveled up like a cheeky peanut .The scoff house well now this is where the fun begins. Portions sizes fit for the smallest of children . The food was consistently over or under cooked . There was more variety in the left over rations box with rice and mushroom omelette.On one occasion i had a chicken burger that a good vet would have no trouble bringing back to life . The bead bun that incased my blood soaked wing still flapping heart still pumping chicken burger was what i can only call diabolical due to being 50% raw dough 40% human waste 10% experimental.My conclusion is that this is one of the best kept secrets in cornwall and should remain hidden for ever . 0/10Boke

Military base so not open to the public. Manned by joint RAF and Army personnel.

I was stationed here in 1969. 1st station out of basic , had about 3yrs here .it like a holiday camp, what with so many beaches to go to and Newquay just down the road, absolutely enjoyed it. Absolutely recommend the local area to stay and visit.

Served there on Fire Section 1963. Great Crews & a good time had by everyone.

My first posting after basic training in 1982 ( although immediately detached to RAF Portreath) Had a great 3 year tour of duty. Came back in 1993 to undertake the Sea Survival course as part of my VC10 cabin crew course. Lovely memories.

Very informative and interesting.Great you can climb into the aircrafts lots more exhibits than expected. The team are full of knowledge and passion.

I can't remember when but at least 30 years ago. Visited with a group, possibly sea cadets, great memories. Which I was 12 again.
