Description

BAE Hawk T1 – XX240 arrived with the Cornwall Aviation Heritage Centre in 2020. Prior to retirement XX240 was a common site hurtling around Cornwall on training and simulation exercises and makes a fantastic addition to our fleet of exhibit aircraft.

The BAE Hawk is the aircraft chose for the RAF’s World-famous aerobatic team, the Red Arrows and is used to represent Great Britain at air displays in many nations every year.

The Cornwall Aviation Heritage Centre is now permanently closed due to the the termination of its premises lease. The project to relocate the museum has been set-aside as the request for 8 months deferral of notice to allow time to prepare the new site was refused. Thank you to all CAHC's supporters, especially the SDL Foundation which offered to provide £1,000,000 to finance the aborted relocation project.

Cornwall Council has terminated CAHC's tenancy and we may never open again. If you would like to help fight this decision by Cornwall Council, please sign our online petition at - https://www.change.org/p/save-cornwall-aviation-heritage-centre
