Petition updateSAVE CORNWALL AVIATION HERITAGE CENTREWE ARE CLOSED FOREVER

Sadly, with almost 60,000 signatures against Cornwall Council's decision to move us off the Airport, they won. They also claimed that they had a tenant ready to move into our HAS. Over 18 months on, the site is still empty.

In the meantime, the self-serving decision makers at the Council have killed a thriving tourist attraction which attracted visitors to spend circa £7m per year in the retail and hospitality sector across the local area, Military veterans have lost a special place of remembrance and a place to share their experience with others, our staff have lost their jobs, our volunteers have lost the place created out of the goodness of their hearts, school children have lost an exciting place to learn about aerospace, college students have lost a place to learn STEM, the newly formed charity 'Cornwall Aerospace Education Trust' have lost their resources and several unique heritage aircraft have had to be destroyed as they were just too big to move.

Sadly, we found an alternative site too late - hampered by Covid... and of course the council who offered to fund the move, later denying that they had, whilst being so obstructive to our millionaire investor, that he decided to withdraw from the project.

Well done Cornwall Council. 

Thank you to all our supporters . We miss you, our planes, antiquities and our special place every single day. We had something special!
