Perranporth Aerodrome has a CAA Ordinary Licence (Number P787) that allows flights for the public transport of passengers or for flying instruction as authorised by the licensee (Perranporth Flying Club Limited). The aerodrome is not licensed for night use.[2]
RAF Perranporth became operational on 28 April 1941. The airfield was used by 21 different squadrons flying Spitfires. The airfield was decommissioned in April 1946.
Postwar useedit
Perranporth Airfield is run by Perranporth Flying Club Ltd. They offer air experience flights, trial lessons and PPL courses.
The airfield has examples of Second World War bunkers, air-raid shelters and revetments. Most are in very good condition, and Spitfire revetments can still be used to tie aircraft down.
Other activities taking place at Perranporth include parachuting, land yachting and cycling events. Clubs for radio controlled cars and aircraft also operate there from time to time.
