RAF Portreath 1941-1945
When the decision was made to ease the pressure on Group 10 Fighter Command Sector Headquarters station at RAF St Eval in the summer of 1940, land at Nancekuke near Portreath was chosen to be the site of its replacement. This video tells the story of RAF Portreath during World War Two and looks at what remains of the base from that time. The video visits the SAA stores, a domestic site, the WAAF camp and the Sector Operations Room and makes reference to a range of other locations.
Can you add any detail to the interpretation of the sites visited? Do you have any wartime photographs of RAF Portreath or its personnel? Did any of your relatives serve there? If so please leave a comment.
The music featured is Coming in on a wing and a prayer by Helen Clare and the Billy Thorburn Orchestra, The clouds will soon roll by by Elsie Carlisle with the Ambrose Orchestra, A pair of silver wings by Anne Shelton, Say a prayer for the boys over there by Deanna Durbin and Coming home my darling by Dorothy Squires.
Thanks for looking. Please check out my other videos on World War Two sites in Cornwall, especially the Decoy Site for RAF Portreath and Invasion at Portreath.

Cornwall drives: St Merryn to Padstow North Cornwall
Enjoy a drive through North Cornwall in early June with the heatwave of summer arriving early in 2009. I love this part of the world and drive these lanes many tmes. We begin at St Merryn village at the crossroads coming from Porthcothan Bay. The Farmers Arms Pub is on the left. There is the legendary FryerTucks Fish and Chip Restauant at St Merryn, Very tasty fish guaranteed. Down the hill and we pass The Cornish Arms Public House. This is the best pub for a drink at lunchtime. You can sit in the sun and breathe in the fresh air of North Cornwall, while you look across at the pretty old Church and Churchyard. If you are lucky the bell ringing is being practiced by skilled local campanologists.
I was told that Rick Stein has taken over the lease of The Cornish Arms, which may explain why my crab sandwich was mouth-watering. [Note for Rick Stein: can you put fish and chips back on the menu?] With a bottle of Admiral's Ale it goes down very well, indeed. When you ask for it at the bar, mention it is the ale that's kept in the backroom for people who know their real ale!
After lunch, when you arrive into Padstow, the view over the Camel Estuary is stunning, white sands and turquoise water, where it meets the Atlantic.
I am afraid the railway has gone (although it's possible it may be coming back) and the quayside is a car park for the town. However, a walk down the quay will bring you to Rick Steins Fish and Chip take away, very good, and reasonable, judging by the queus. Very popular. There are also wet fish shops where one can buy fresh fish, and they will keep your purchase chilled for you will continue walking around Padstow. Great, if you are self catering , to take back to your accommodation to cook. Our favourite local pub is The Golden Lion in Padstow (Lanadwell Street), because the food is good and you can catch up on the local news from the regulars, including the charming retired ex-postie.
The London Inn is very good too, in the same street. Of course, Rick Steins restaurants are excellent, as you would expect. Try The Seafood Resturuant on Riverside for your special night dinner. Outside of Padstow, a good bet and lovely setting is the The Falcon Inn, in St Mawgan on the way to Newquay from Padstow, at Mawgan Porth. Turn in-land and follow the lanes where you'll find a wonderful old pub and beergarden. A lovely place to spend an evening chatting over dinner and magic, if you get good weather.
If you like a dog friendley, superb, proper real ale (CAMRA) pub, look up The Blisland Inn at Blisland- What a great Pub! Food is great, atmosphere is friendly and the setting and welcoming are perfect. A good visit!
As you can see, this part of Cornwall is a place I return to whenever I can. Hope you enjoy it, as I much as we do.
Having a Blast at Pendennis Castle: Cannon Conservation on the Cornish Coast
Dominating the high, rocky headland, above Falmouth, the great artillery fortress of Pendennis Castle protected the entrance to the river Fal for over 400 years, from Tudor times to the Second World War. As part of an ambitious reinterpretation of Pendennis Castle in Cornwall, English Heritage have conserved and restored to full firing condition, one of the guns from the castle's collection. Dressed in authentic Edwardian uniform a new volunteer gun crew has been recruited and trained to fire this rare 12-pounder QF (quick-firing) gun. Visitors will now get the chance to see and hear this historic gun in action.
