Classic Air Force has announced plans to close its Newquay site, moving all of its operations back to its traditional base at Coventry.

The organisation has blamed high operating costs at Newquay Aerohub.

Mike Collett, a trustee of the Classic Aircraft Trust, the charity of which CAF is the operating arm, said: “The operating costs at Newquay have risen to a level that’s frankly unsupportable. Our focus is, and always will be, the continued care and protection of the collection. By putting all of our focus on Coventry we secure its future for generations to come.”
