If you're ever on holiday in North Cornwall, Davidstow Airfield is worth a visit. It's pretty much abandoned and is where everyone in the area learnt to drive. It's popular with model aeroplane enthusiasts used to be a Formula 1 Circuit until it was abandoned due to the constant fog and the police tend to leave it alone...

It gives some great photo ops, as well as an interesting place to explore!

Brilliant pictures Dan, however even as a colour blind dafty, that is not Oslo blue

Cheers for the reminder Rosco - Updated... 

Always liked Tonga, enjoy

It's a fairly uncommon colour, also most SC are black or silver so was really pleased to find this one. Strangely enough, my previous SC was Tonga too.

It was important that I got ANYTHING but Olso Blue - I've had 4 in that colour now and am absolutely sick of it. 

great pics Dan and thanks for the tip re the airfield..  ... - .- -.

is that the place just past a big creamry for dairy crest? just off the A39/A395 junction

i reckon it is,

thought it might have been dairy crest sent me down there to park one night pitch black dark 44tonne loaded wondered where the hell they'd sent me but it was nice and quiet and bloody cold,raining and blowing a gale.

That's the place  

That's where I learnt to drive as a 9 year old. Was in my Dad's Cortina. Happy days

mmmmm Davidstow cheese!

I know that place very well, I lived in Treknow near Tintagel for a few years, but I think that you may find that it is half a mile south of the map position Stan Try the satellite view

Best place to let a minor loose in the car, but watch out for sheep Also there is a ditch long most of the road to keep you out......... but, the road crosses the runway in several places, and you can gain access there

Ps the road is the Altarnun road from the A39 and the airfield is just north of Crowdy Reservoir (which is signposted) Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

Went back up there again this weekend with "project mini-me" certainly not as sure-footed as the RR, but capable nonetheless.

The Freelander is also Tonga Green, with similar interior and about 70% of the gadgets, I bought it for £500 as the garage told the previous owner it had a blown HG when "the header tank looked low one day" - being a TD4 though I doubted that, so bought it as "spares or repair" and it's been fine since.

The Freelander functions as my backup car for when the RR is in the garage - so it's in use at least one week a month!

Great Pics, reminds me of home (St. Awful)

Also Freelander 1's are very underated machines. Very capable when sorted properly, I keep toying with the idea of a project, and you are not helping  2003 V8 Vogue in Silver
