Classic
Air Force
The Classic Aircraft Trust has a collection of more than 25 post-World
War II classic aircraft which it preserves and maintains in working condition
using them for flypasts, displays and air shows. Many of the aircraft
are either extremely rare or even unique and include both piston-engined
& jet aircraft, bombers, fighters trainers and liaison aircraft. They
form part of an entertaining and interactive experience in an aviation
museum, housed in one of RAF St MawganÂ’s former aircraft hangars on Newquay
airport, from where you can also take scenic pleasure flights or loop-the-loop
with an experienced pilot. The Classic Air Force Trust is a charity reliant
on museum visitors and other contributions to maintain the current fleet
and to expand it when the right opportunities occur.’
