RNAS Culdrose, Helston
-
11/01/2012
Royal Naval Air Station Culdrose has today announced that it will not be holding its annual Air Day in 2012. Planned resurfacing works to the Culdrose runway leave the base unable to host large numbers of visiting aircraft during the summer. This factor, combined with Operational commitments across the globe and at home with the 2012 Olympics, means it will not be feasible for the base to man the event.
The Air Day Team has however already started to prepare for the next Air Day event, planned for the summer of 2013.

Helped along by hectic bidding from the other side of the world, a damaged Chinese porcelain piece was sold for a staggering 40-fold increase on its estimated price at The Penzance Auction House.
The “altarpiece” – a work of art designed to be set above or behind an altar – was listed at £400 to £600, but ended up as the antiques sale’s star performer at £25,000.
“Nine times out of ten we come pretty close with our price estimates, but I am delighted to confess that we got this one spectacularly wrong!” said auctioneer David Lay.
“We had five phone lines open for the bidding. There were some 30 people registered to bid, and most of them were from mainland China. It was an amazing experience as the price soared.”

Gas Safe Register calls for Gas Safety Checks
As temperatures begin to fall this winter The Gas Safe Register is calling for people to get their gas appliances checked.
Research released by the Department of Health confirms that large numbers of people are presenting themselves at hospital with low-level CO poisoning. Symptoms mirror ailments such as cols, flu or general tiredness and can come about when small amounts of CO gradually escape from gas appliances into the air. But because CO has no taste, colour or smell, it is almost impossible to detect and people don't realise they are in a dangerous situation until it's too late.
Many of our Cornish Gas Maintenance engineers are Gas Safe Registered.
