Just wondering if it could have been a forced landing just to the north of Penzance Heliport - fields and topography are very similar.

Edit: JimJim's pics and link seem to confirm that?

Here are a handful of interesting shots taken around the early 1970s, from my sister in laws slide collection. Would be interesting to find out a little more information on them. As far as we know, no one was hurt, but the helicopter on it's way back from Scilly to Penzance had missed the runway and landed somewhere around the site BnQ now is. Any ideas on what actually happened, or are we pretty close?
No B&Q though...
