Transcription

Royal Air Force use

RAF Perranporth became operational on 28 April 1941. The airfield was used by 21 different squadrons flying Spitfires. The airfield was decommissioned in April 1946.

Postwar use

Perranporth Airfield is run by Perranporth Flying Club Ltd. They offer air experience flights, trial lessons and PPL courses.

The airfield has examples of Second World War bunkers, air-raid shelters and revetments. Most are in very good condition, and Spitfire revetments can still be used to tie aircraft down.

Other activities taking place at Perranporth include parachuting, land yachting and cycling events. Clubs for radio controlled cars and aircraft also operate there from time to time.
