great find and some nice pics. is this still MOD land then?? was thinking of taking a trip down from plymouth to have a look.

It’s an active MOD site, a satellite of RNAS Seahawk, (Coldrose) they don’t like trespassers but they probably won’t shoot you?

Permission to use pictures?

Some superb pictures of Predannack. Would it be OK if I use them on my local site, www.cadgwith.com? I am always looking for interesting stuff. Thanks Charles

Do I see an old Queens flight plane there as well. Dog looked like it was enjoying itself.

hydealfred · Dec 20, 2010

No NC there is no Queens Flight aircraft at Predannack - which shot were you looking at ?

I think he means the red and white Domini. Those were used for navigator training I believe.

Yes the HS Dominie was used by the RAF to train navigators. No 55 Squadron still have some Dominies on strength which are due to retire in 2015.

Nice aircraft remains

Looks like some a Navy (black nose cone), and RAF (grey and camo) Harriers, a Sea King, two Wessex helos, a Jaguar, a Dominie (still in service back end of 2010), and a Canberra bomber in there. There's some history laying derelict there for sure.....expect those Harriers to be indoors soon as a permanent fixture now the Harrier fleet has officially been taken out of service. Either that or put 'em up for sale.....cos I'd have one!

Well me saying 2015 for retirement has proved wrong. The Defence Review has dictated the Dominie be retired early. This happened on 20 Jan 11 at RAF Cranwell. I post a few of shots below. Not derelict I know but these will go the same way as the one in the report above. Luckily two are to be preserved.

The last Dominie XS731 to land at RAF Cranwell -

Final Touchdown

The end of an era.
