Fascinating old photographs have been unearthed that show some of the people who helped build RNAS Culdrose more than 70 years ago. Lloyd Sluman found the tiny pictures, measuring just two by two inches, among the papers of his late parents. They lived in Porthleven, not far from the Helston air station. His mother, Phyllis Miners, worked for construction company John Laing and Son Ltd, one of the main contractors responsible for building RNAS Culdrose. As well as showing workers clearing the land or building the first aircraft hangars, the photographs also capture more light-hearted moments and candid images of the staff at work.
