The Culdrose shop as it is known here is situated integrally within the public viewing enclosure at the Royal Naval Air Station Culdrose near Helston. The air station operates the Royal Navy's latest helicopter the Merlin in addition to the ageing Sea kings. Other aircraft operate here that include Hawk jets and Jetstreams. The shop offers you the chance to sit down and look at the aircraft flying while enjoying a nice cuppa and cake. You can even buy some souvenirs in Navy aviation. A nice little facility but be warned you can never guarantee aircraft will be flying the station has 3 main 'leave' periods throughout the year and a number of the units are deployed worldwide. read more
