In an annual tradition almost as old as the Royal Navy itself, children had their heads bumped on boundary stones beside the airfield this week for the #Helston Beating of the Bounds. It was organised by Helston Town Council & Royal Navy sailors were pleased to join in too.

The Fleet Air Arm has lost one of its greatest and most influential aviators with the passing of Commander Nigel 'Sharkey' Ward.

'Mr Sea Harrier' downed three Argentine aircraft during more than 60 sorties as CO of 801 NAS in the Falklands.

Farewell to George Newlands (pictured front) who retired today from the Civil Service after 19 years at the Merlin Training Facility #824NAS and more than 40 years' at RNAS Culdrose. He'd previously served as a Royal Navy helicopter observer.

Former members of the Royal Navy search and rescue 771 NAS welcomed one of their own to Culdrose – a visit by former aircrewman & SAR diver David ‘Nick’ Carter. He served at Culdrose in the 70s and early 80s, is a Falkland’s veteran & took part in the 1979 Fastnet Race disaster
