but OAP homes abound. It is Cornwall after-all.
Including chez TTN, from where I had been watching the display through the binocs (£16, and a bloody long queue to get in? You must be joking ) I was in fact driving into Helston around 5pm and could see the Sea Fury doing its display as I drove in. Only heard about what had happened when I watched the BBC SW news at 6.30. Anyway the pilot is fine, which is the main thing, and in my totally inexpert opinion the aircraft looks repairable.

Bit of thread drift, but I enjoyed the show. Pleased that 558 made it again, but the best bit for me was the Canberra and the pair of Hunters - blue note distinctly audible even from a couple of miles away. Also enjoyed the Meteor and Vampire, and the B25 was a nice addition. Oh, and for once the notorious Culdrose Air Day weather actually stayed ok.
