As a keen military aviation enthusiast i really wanted to place my first cache somewhere around RAF St Mawgan as i have spent many an hour logging RAF & foreign air arms visiting on exercise or deployments.

Raf St Mawgan became a coastal command airfield in 1951 and at that time Avro Lancasters & Shackletons were in residence.
