Dan Thomas Deffo pz [Penzance?], you can see the heliport in the first photo and Gulval church to the far right

Merryn Smith The original pictures you posted are from Penzance in the 70's, but it's not a passenger flight..BEA were using the heliport as a training base alongside the scheduled service and the aircraft you see DID miss the airstrip, and landed in what was then marshland and has now been reclaimed. To the extent that the crew had to launch the dinghy in order to make it back to the hangar for a coffee! No injuries except maybe to pride and bank accounts!!!!!

From postcard sold on ebay it seems
