A British Airways aeroplane landed at Helston’s RNAS Culdrose this morning as part of preparations for this summer’s Olympic Games.
The BA Airbus 319 landed just before 10am and took off again about half an hour ago.
The Olympic Flame will be arriving in Helston on May 18, onboard a British Airways flight, ahead of the start of the Olympic Torch Relay from Land’s End the following day.
