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.

Airfield Bus Tours

Unfortunately, Marlene, our trusty electric bus won't be doing any Airfield Tours this year as the the social distance cannot be kept for the passengers onboard. This will be disappointing for the many of our visitors last year who were wanting to go on one of the tours this year.  Hopefully by July next year things will be back to normal and the airfield tours can resume. The remains of the airfield, runways and dilapidated buildings, are on free to roam land so you can park your car and walk the site. On a clear day - we do get some in Cornwall - if you climb up the stairs of the control building you can get some good photos of the two tors, Brown Willy and Rough Tor, which provide a good back drop. The two tors were used as navigation points during WWII.

Open again

Steve and Sheila are pleased to say that the museum is now open for the 2020 season. As you'll understand there are restrictions in place and these must be strictly adhered to. During the lockdown the volunteers kept working, at a safe social distance of course, and much has been achieved due to the extra months of work time being available. There are many new items and displays all waiting for you to pay a visit. Markers, arrows, hand sanitisers and signs are throughout the museum. Because of the way that the museum is laid out there should be minimum inconvenience for visitors. PLEASE NOTE when you visit it is crucial that the social distance of 6ft with the volunteers and other visitors is kept to. It's imperative that none of us are in the situation that could compromise us if a visitor could be incubating the virus  and later test positive for it. Other than that please enjoy your visit with us. PS. The comments system for this blog has been updated and can b
