RNAS Culdrose – A pilots view

Flight Hawk Jet from Culdrose: This is a video of a flight in a Hawk jet from Culdrose.  The flight takes you along the south coast of Cornwall and over Pendennis Castle, Falmouth Docks, Flushing and up the Penryn river before returning the coast and over the sea to land back at the Royal Naval Air Station Culdrose.

The Hawk jet trainer is the aircraft flown by the Red Arrows display team and is one of the UK’s most successful planes having been sold to countries around the world by British Aerospace.

Culdrose is home to the Royal Navy’s maritime Merlins, just outside Helston on the Lizard Peninsula – is one of the largest helicopter bases in Europe. With 3,000 personnel, it is one of the biggest single-site employer in Cornwall, pumping £100m into the local economy every year.

This busy Air Station supplies skilled aviators, engineers and flight deck crews to protect Royal Navy Ships and Submarines, above, on and below the waves.
