If you find yourself at a loose end when taking in the delights of Cornwall then pop down to Falmouth where the National Maritime Museum has a new exhibition entitled
Maritime Rescue.
If you have never had the chance to sit in the pilot's seat of the dear old Sea King then head to the NMM and grab the chance. An ex UK SAR Sea King has been loaned to the Museum as a 'climb-aboard' and will be in the main exhibition hall resplendent in both RAF and RN colours (yellow on the right and blue-grey/red on the left). Take your kids and have a really great day out. There are displays that also focus on the HM Coastguard and RNLI as well as the Cornwall Air Ambulance who regularly feature in beach rescues.
If you want to show your family what you do for a living and have never had the chance then head for Falmouth and make a long weekend of it.
