Photo Comment

Brand new here and registered to this Newquay based operator only days before. There seemed to be a succession of people trying to make money out of air service to the west country, mostly going broke in the process. Westward lasted until October 1970 and the Islander was then sold on, being exported as VH-WGQ in November 1973 and current as P2-NAM in 2020. The patio outside the GA Terminal was a new feature here.
