Inadequate infrastructure ? St. Mawgan is currently having a new entrance and guardroom constructed at a cost of five million pounds. Yes, really, see MOD websites. Approx 230 military personnel based there though at times many more as training courses progress. With such levels of expenditure, in the usual way of such things, surely a candidate for closure .


Cornwall needs its airport but the large base is a big and ongoing cost for the County to meet, is there any scope for perhaps a Prestwick style solution where the military and civvie aviation seem to co-exist side by side ?


Interesting comments on here re Culdrose.
