Particularly sad for me - I did my first solo landaway there - Lands End - Perranporth (paid my landing fees) and then back to Lands End. I was like a dog with two tails that day - even better than my first solo, in spite of a scary approach over the cliffs which is a bit daunting if you have less than 10 hours solo under your belt! On an earlier trip with my instructor it was my first landing (and take off) on tarmac!
Quite apart from the heritage question, if Perranporth closes West Cornwall will be totally bereft of airfields for private flying - Lands End kicked out the flying club a few years back, so the already overcrowded Bodmin will be the nearest possibility.
