RAF St Eval - 1943
Posted: 14 Mar 2015, 02:41
I'm off on another track. Got the engineers working hard and have resurfaced the three runways and main taxiways at RAF St Eval.
I've got much more work for them to do; parking, hangars, control tower, some support buildings. Also have to get 238 Sqdn. Hurricanes
a place to live. (protection against the 'Jerrys'). Gotta get the place in shape for some of John Young's B-24s that I understand are
going to be showing up.
Have got to get the colors on the western side to match a bit better.
You have to be careful and watch out for those new fangled 'whirlybirds' and planes without propellers
from over at St Mawgan.
I've given St Eval the airport code of EGSE. I haven't found what it was when operational. If any
one knows of the proper code please let me know. Still some work to do. If any of you older folks
in the UK (not meaning to insult anyone, what I mean is around my age - the place did close in 1959)
have first or second hand knowledge of the station, I would appreciate hearing from you.
