I was able to visit this museum and what a nice surprise. It is totally amateur run, is rather scruffy but to the older generation this is what a museum should be like. A mix of uncle's collections and granny's attic.
Located in a number of buildings on the WW2 Davidstow airfield (Coastal Command) it has a some airframes, Hawker Hunter, Fairy Gannet and a V1 plus simulators and various 'rooms' housing themed collections. There are some very fine exhibits (including vehicles) plus a few mis labelled items.
The oddest room is a recreation of an officer's mess meal with about 100 dressed mannequins in the room.
So if you are passing, drop in and enjoy. It's well worth your time.
