May have been some Base Training involved but it was Primarily a Photo Shoot, involving an Augusta 109 from Castle Air (Liskeard) and also a Jet Provost. Spoke to the Crews of Both Aircraft and they Thoroughly Enjoyed themselves.
Apparently, the A330 Was only 3 Weeks Old and had just been Delivered, Beautiful Aircraft, Clean as a Shiny Pin, Certainly Bigger than i thought.

Airport in talks with 12 airlines
Airport in talks with 12 airlines | This is Cornwall
"The airlines we are in discussions with cannot be named for commercial
reasons but are airlines which have a significant presence in the industry."
Any thoughts ?

Mr Titterington also revealed he was in talks with up to 12 other heavyweight
airlines about the possibility of introducing new routes from Newquay.

Yes - most of the 12 airlines are probably wondering what he is talking about.
I remember a similar press story "leaked" by a regional airport over here in which the airport boasted about "x airlines" they are talking with. In most cases, this "talking" was little more than sending a letter to the airlines telling them how great the airport was and that they should start services asap. Guys I knew at one airline that was "targeted" could not stop laughing when they read that the airport was "talking" with them - if at all, it was strictly a one-way conversation.

The BA LHR - Leeds and Belfast and Dublin routes are happening, Dublin and Belfast are simply taking over the existing bmi routes, LBA should start when the MAN schedule is sorted out.
Not heard anything about NQY-LHR apart when me suggesting it a while ago.

Would love to see it, and EXT too, we need links to the West Country.
Bearing in mind petrol prices, congestion and speed traps on the A30/A303, I would find NQY-LHR very convenient!
But it's a long time since the Brymon days. BD was never on the route, VS are only longhaul, and it's doubtful if the route is high on the BA's new domestic destinations list. No other UK carrier uses LHR so, nonemmet, have to agree with you.
However, could see a NQY-NHT route if NHT ever becomes a civil airport.

Oops, sorry, got that wrong!

the problem with Newquay for most UK based passengers is the door-to door time and car hire cost
You have to hire a car to get anywhere else in Cornwall and by the time you've got that factored in it's just easier to drive there in your own motor

If they ever bother to duel the A30 the car would be a no brainier but it's a horrible car journey no matter which day you try it during the summer.
The beauty of a NQY-LHR flight would be from connections into Cornwall and allow those of us living here to connect NQY-wherever in the world with ease.

Most of the A30 is dualled, the problems are the annoying stretches of single carriageway in between. That's where the bottlenecks occur and everything else backs up.

Exactly, that connectivity would also help reinvigorate the local economy. The same applies in many parts of the country. That's another reason why we need LHR expansion. More slots at LHR means cheaper slots and that may help make such a route viable.

Cornishsimon - You'd be forever stacking over Croydon, waiting for a bus
transfer from aircraft to terminal or queueing at inbound immigration. Would a
link to CDG or AMS not better fit the bill?
Either or all would be grand !
but on the subject of NQY-LHR, is the flight really that different in duration and distance when compared to say MAN-LHR ?
I also think NQY will get a FRA service probably on LH before too long to compliment the existing twice weekly DUS summer service

Hmm, i'm pretty sure there are direct flights from LGW to YVR. So why the need for LHR??
