DOG FRIENDLY

Yesterday was a grey, cold and windy day at the museum.

 However, we had visits from people brave enough to put up with the cold. Amongst them were two couples with their beautiful rescue dogs, Marley and Buddy.

 Marley is an 11 year old Dalmatian who really doesn't look his age and was rescued by a lovely couple from St Albans. Marley chose a black and white bandana that represents the Cornish flag.

 Buddy is a gorgeous 2 year old black Labrador who had been rescued from a home where he hadn't been taken for walks.He now has a loving home where he gets many walks. Buddy settled for a bandana with boats on it as he was at the seaside.

 They both happily posed for photos.

 Remember that we are totally dog friendly and always have a doggy biscuit jar in the guard room with a treat for your canine friend.

      Thank you, Lisl. So many owners now bring their dogs on holiday with them that it's only right we should make their canine companions welcome.

      We have an "Animals At War" room where all the animals roles in warfare have been acknowledged for the vital parts they have played through the years, and right up to the present day. We do not glorify war, the display is to show the deepest of respect for all the animals, and hope that our visitors can appreciate their sacrifices and bravery.

612 Squadron continued.

Thank you for the interest shown in yesterday's post.  Coastal seem to be the forgotten heroes and yet they achieved so much, they saved many lives and enabled supplies to get through to the U.K. Like Bomber Command and the fighter aircrews, Coastal were attacked, shot at and crashed. For the survivors in the ocean it must have been an anxious wait for rescue as, unlike on land, they had nowhere to hide and had to be conspicuous to be seen and rescued. They were as brave, and suffered many losses, as any other arm of the R.A.F. I found this poem a few weeks ago. It says it all. No Spotlight For Coastal " Bombers or Fighters?" his friends used to say But when he said "Coastal", they turned half away Yet Coastal's patrols which traversed the Bay Forced U-boats to dive for most of the day. With the U-boats submerged for much of the day The convoys ploughed on, midst the salt and the spray While the men on the ships did silentlypray That his pla

R.A.F Centenary Event

A reminder about the celebration for the R.A.F Centenary event. Everyone at the museum is working very hard to get everything ready for Sunday. The weather has been against us getting the exteriors of some buildings painted so they may not look as pristine as we'd like. However, today the sun is out and it will be a hive of industry at the museum.  The unveiling of our tributes will be at 2 pm sharp. It would be wise to arrive from 1pm onwards if you want to watch the ceremony. Remember that a shuttle bus will be running from the car parking facility on the airfield to the museum and back at no extra charge. This leaves museum parking spaces for people who have difficulty walking. Personnel from R.A.F St Mawgan and Air Cadets will be marching, a lovely sight in itself, with the Station Commander R.A.F St Mawgan, Alex Mason, and retired Air Commodore John Bessel doing the unveiling. There will be refreshments available to buy: A mini Cornish Pasty, a mini scone with jam an
