Former Airstrip, The Lizard, Cornwall

Hi all

Has anyone knowledge where at The Lizard / Caer Mellin, Cornwall a strip belonging to Lord Semphill was.

I understand that he flew a Puss Moth G-ABJU from there in the 1930's

Try a call to Lands End...there are some old timers there or research Penzance Library - The county museum in Truro may also help

Call 01326 574121 (RNAS Culdrose main switchboard) and ask for the Predannack Tower Officer, he might have records on that, if not they might know the aviation spotters on the Lizard. Also Helston Museum (number unknown) has records on the old RNAS Mullion Airship base nearby, which might refer.
