V-Flyer

I realise that this is just possibly outside of the VF web site remit , but does anybody know if it's possible to get a flight from anywhere around London to St Just Aerodrome, Penzance, Cornwall or where I might find such information???

Thanks.

If you know the 3 letter code for St Just then I guess you could enter this detail into Expert Flyer (quoting LON as you start point which covers all london airports)

Me thinks you may have to train it!

Just type "St Just Airport" into Yahoo or Google and you get plenty of info - looks like a flight from London is a non starter but they do fly from their to the Isles of Scilly!

I guess the only way to do it woudl be a private charter.

BTW St Just is LEQ

Ive got a friend with a cottage there not that its any help. They do day trips to the Scilly Isles by plane and helicopter. Its a small field - grass I seem to remember.

Other than charter a hellicopter or plane from a London airport. The only options I can think of are as follows:

>>> Air Southwest flight from LGW to Newquay then hop onto the Skybus and fly to Scilly before flying from Scilly to LEQ.

>>> Air Southwest from LGW to NQY then onto Scilly before getting hellicopter back.

>>> Air Southwest flight from LGW to Newquay and then drive to Penzance. 40mins drive.

>>> Ryanair flight from STN to Newquay and either of the two above options.

>>> Train from Paddington to Penzance.

>>> Overnight First Great Western Sleeper service to Penzance.

Look at http://www.airsouthwest.com, http://www.newquay-airport.co.uk, http://www.isleofscillyhelicopter.com or google it.

It is expensive though- the Scilly Skybus is £85 for a day trip from Penzance and its a 15min flight!

It is 5 hours-6hours on train from Penzance, by the time you have driven to LGW checked in etc got to Newquay hired a car and driven to Penzance you might as well jsut sit on the train. You can get a fast from Paddington which is limited stopping and often includes a full sit down restaurant car. So if I was you I would get the train and then go and visit the airfield on arrival hehe!

Thanks for the detiled info - having checked the southwest web site, it would cost >200 return from LGW to NQY; I think I'll drive!

Cheers.
