Thursday, July 30 is the one day the public will be allowed to glimpse the world of RNAS Culdrose and it’s not a spectacle to be missed.

The working military Naval Air Station is one of Europe’s largest helicopter bases and it will play host to action-packed flying displays from jet and helicopters, including Frecce Tricolori, who are Italy’s own version of the Red Arrows and the Swiss Air Force F18, the Breitling Wing Walkers, the Royal Navy Black Cats and the Blades who also be flying.

Visitors can take to the air themselves in a helicopter ride and there’ll be plenty to see and do for all the family. www.royalnavy.mod.uk/culdroseairday
