Bolt Head
A great stip to fly in to (fantastic location) and pleasant walk to Salcombe.**
Also the forward air strip that saw the loss of virtually an entire American Spitfire squadron with their MK 9 machines that was one of 3 squadrons covering a B17 raid on Morlaix.
A combination of cloud cover and a much higher tail wind 'outbound' saw the Squadron still over France and running out of fuel.
Details covered in B K (Willingness to die) and P (Laddie) Lucas 5 Lives.
The BK account quite clear as he was there,but did not lead the Wing due to being delayed at Biggin.
Highly recommended for a fly and camp visit.
** Walk down to South Sands and take the ferry,or walk to North Sands for lunch at the Winking Prawn.Uk strip flying at its best.
