commissioned as HMS Seahawk, sits beside Helston on the Lizard peninsula, the southernmost tip of mainland Britain. Admiralty surveyors first looked at the land in 1942; John Laing &amp; Son built the airfield and it was commissioned five years later, in 1947, as a Naval Fighting School meant to last about ten years. Instead it grew into one of the Navy&rsquo;s two principal air stations: Skyraider early-warning aircraft arrived in 1952, the station turned to anti-submarine helicopters, and from 1968 a designated site in plan PYTHON, the government&rsquo;s plan for continuity of government in a nuclear war.<\/p>\n<p>For four decades Culdrose was also Cornwall&rsquo;s rescue base. 771 Naval Air Squadron flew Wessex and then Sea King rescue helicopters from here from 1974 until 1 January 2016, through the Fastnet disaster of 1979 and the Boscastle flood of 2004. The Sea King airborne early-warning squadron, 849, flew from here from 1984 to 2020, and since 2000 every Royal Navy Merlin anti-submarine helicopter has been based at Culdrose.<\/p>\n<p>Today the station flies the Merlin HM2 of 814, 820 and 824 Squadrons, including the Crowsnest radar version that gives the carriers their airborne early warning, the Avenger observer trainers of 750 Squadron and the drones of 700X Squadron, and it runs the School of Flight Deck Operations and the Merlin depth-maintenance line. The Navy&rsquo;s own page, written around 2014, calls it &ldquo;the largest helicopter base in Europe&rdquo;, with about 75 aircraft and 3,000 people and &#163;100m a year for the local economy; Wikipedia says &ldquo;one of the largest&rdquo;. The UK Military AIP gives a reference point of 50 05 07.43N 005 15 14.66W, an elevation of 268 ft and three asphalt runways, the longest 11\/29 at 1,830 m. Predannack, a few miles south, is its satellite airfield.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<hr class=\"divider\">\n<section id=\"sat\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">Satellite<\/div>\n<h2>Royal Naval Air Station Culdrose from above<\/h2>\n<div class=\"satfig\" id=\"satfig\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Enlarge the satellite view\">\n<div class=\"satimg\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"Royal Naval Air Station Culdrose seen from above\"><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"satzoom\">Click to enlarge<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"satcap\"><b>3 runways, the longest 1,830 m.<\/b><span>Imagery: Esri, Maxar, Earthstar Geographics and the GIS user community<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"satlb\" id=\"satlb\"><span class=\"satlbx\">Close<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"satbig\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"Royal Naval Air Station Culdrose seen from above, enlarged\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<style>#mfam .satimg{background-image:url(\"https:\/\/server.arcgisonline.com\/ArcGIS\/rest\/services\/World_Imagery\/MapServer\/export?bbox=-5.29026,50.07462,-5.21788,50.09618\\26 bboxSR=4326\\26 imageSR=3857\\26 size=1600,743\\26 format=jpg\\26 f=image\")!important}#mfam .satbig{background-image:url(\"https:\/\/server.arcgisonline.com\/ArcGIS\/rest\/services\/World_Imagery\/MapServer\/export?bbox=-5.28809,50.07085,-5.22005,50.09995\\26 bboxSR=4326\\26 imageSR=3857\\26 size=2048,1365\\26 format=jpg\\26 f=image\")!important}@media(max-width:820px){#mfam .satimg{background-image:url(\"https:\/\/server.arcgisonline.com\/ArcGIS\/rest\/services\/World_Imagery\/MapServer\/export?bbox=-5.27087,50.07462,-5.23727,50.09618\\26 bboxSR=4326\\26 imageSR=3857\\26 size=760,760\\26 format=jpg\\26 f=image\")!important}}<\/style>\n<div id=\"sat-data\" data-js=\"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\"><\/div>\n<p><script>(function(){var el=document.getElementById(\"sat-data\");var js=decodeURIComponent(escape(atob(el.getAttribute(\"data-js\"))));var sc=document.createElement(\"script\");sc.text=js;document.body.appendChild(sc);})();<\/script><section class=\"pqband\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<figure class=\"pq\">\n<blockquote><p>The delivery of this first aircraft at Culdrose represents an enormous amount of hard work, dedication and passion.<\/blockquote><figcaption><b>Captain Stuart Finn<\/b><span>Commanding Officer, RNAS Culdrose<\/span><span><a href=\"https:\/\/ukdefencejournal.org.uk\/crowsnest-early-warning-helicopter-enters-service\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">UK Defence Journal, 24 March 2021<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<hr class=\"divider\">\n<section id=\"glance\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">At a glance<\/div>\n<h2>Royal Naval Air Station Culdrose in numbers<\/h2>\n<div class=\"specgrid three\">\n<div class=\"spectable\">\n<h4>Location &amp;

The airfield that John Laing &amp; Son built there was commissioned in 1947 as HMS Seahawk, planned as a Naval Fighting School and, according to Wikipedia, designed as a wartime airfield to last about ten years. It never closed. On 7 July 1952 849 Naval Air Squadron was re-established at Culdrose to fly American-built Skyraider AEW1 early-warning aircraft, and the station soon added other roles.<\/p>\n<p>Over the following decades Culdrose changed from a fixed-wing station into a helicopter base specialising in anti-submarine warfare, the role it still has. In 1958 Helston gave HMS Seahawk the Freedom of the Borough, and the station still parades through the town. From 1968 Culdrose was one of the designated locations in plan PYTHON, the scheme for keeping the government running after a nuclear attack, a measure of how important the station had become to the state.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"ddet\">\n<summary><span class=\"dn\">02<\/span><span>Rescue on the western approaches<\/span><span class=\"dx\">Read<\/span><\/summary>\n<div class=\"dbody\">\n<p>In September 1974 771 Naval Air Squadron moved its search and rescue Wessexes from Portland to Culdrose. Five years later came the worst night in its history. In August 1979 a storm caught the 303 yachts of the Fastnet race; 21 people died, 15 of them competitors. The Royal Navy put up 15 helicopters from Culdrose and Prestwick: Sea Kings flew 25 sorties, Wessexes 27 and Lynxes 10. The Navy rescued 136 people in what Wikipedia calls the largest peacetime rescue operation. In the 1985 Fastnet race a Culdrose rescue diver won the George Medal for saving Simon Le Bon and 19 others.<\/p>\n<p>The Sea King HAR5 replaced the Wessex from October 1987 and gave the squadron long-range, all-weather rescue. On 16 August 2004 Culdrose was one of four bases whose seven Sea Kings and a coastguard helicopter lifted about 150 people from trees, roofs and cars in the Boscastle flood, in which no one died. The squadron is credited with more than 9,000 missions and more than 15,000 lives saved. It handed rescue duty to civil contractors on 1 January 2016 and was decommissioned on 22 March 2016.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"ddet\">\n<summary><span class=\"dn\">03<\/span><span>Submarine hunters and the carrier&rsquo;s eyes<\/span><span class=\"dx\">Read<\/span><\/summary>\n<div class=\"dbody\">\n<p>After the Falklands showed the cost of fighting without airborne early warning, 849 Squadron reformed at Culdrose in November 1984 on radar-carrying Sea Kings. They flew over Iraq in 2003, where two of the squadron&rsquo;s aircraft from HMS Ark Royal collided in poor visibility, killing six British and one American aircrew. The squadron was decommissioned on 21 April 2020.<\/p>\n<p>The Merlin arrived in the Navy&rsquo;s anti-submarine squadrons in 2000; the first fully operational aircraft was delivered on 17 May 1997 and the type entered service on 2 June 2000. All the squadrons (814, 820, 824 and the later-merged 829) have been at Culdrose since. Thirty were upgraded to HM2 in a &#163;750 million programme finished in July 2016. The Crowsnest radar version replaced the Sea King in the early-warning role: the first entered service in March 2021, in time for HMS Queen Elizabeth&rsquo;s first deployment, and the system reached initial operating capability in July 2023 with five aircraft.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"ddet\">\n<summary><span class=\"dn\">04<\/span><span>Hawks, drones and a dummy deck<\/span><span class=\"dx\">Read<\/span><\/summary>\n<div class=\"dbody\">\n<p>Culdrose trains much of the Navy&rsquo;s aviation workforce. The Royal Naval School of Flight Deck Operations teaches aircraft handlers and firefighters on the Dummy Deck, a full-size replica of an Invincible-class carrier deck; 750 Squadron trains observers in Avenger T1s. From 7 June 2013 to 2022 the station also flew jets: 736 Naval Air Squadron&rsquo;s Hawk T1s played the enemy for warship crews, until the Hawks left Cornwall on 24 March 2022.<\/p>\n<p>The newest tenants are unmanned. 700X Squadron, which had twelve people in 2014, now runs the Navy&rsquo;s drone work with the National Drone Hub at Predannack, where the UK Military AIP says remotely piloted aircraft routinely fly when the airfield is closed. Its trials led to the Malloy T-150 logistics drone being cleared for front-line use in September 2025, and the Navy&rsquo;s plan for a hybrid air wing of crewed and uncrewed aircraft is being worked out here.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<hr class=\"divider\">\n<section id=\"timeline\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">Timeline<\/div>\n<h2>Royal Naval Air Station Culdrose, year by year<\/h2>\n<div class=\"tl\">\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1942<\/div>\n<p>Admiralty surveyors begin preliminary surveys of land near Helston.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1947<\/div>\n<p>Commissioned as HMS Seahawk, built by John Laing &amp; Son.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1952<\/div>\n<p>7 July: 849 NAS re-established at Culdrose with Skyraider AEW1s.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1958<\/div>\n<p>HMS Seahawk receives the Freedom of the Borough of Helston.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1968<\/div>\n<p>Designated a plan PYTHON continuity-of-government site.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1974<\/div>\n<p>September: 771 NAS brings its search and rescue helicopters from Portland.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1979<\/div>\n<p>August: Culdrose and Prestwick helicopters in the Fastnet race rescue; the Navy saves 136.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1984<\/div>\n<p>November: 849 NAS reforms with Sea King airborne early warning helicopters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">2000<\/div>\n<p>2 June: the Merlin enters Royal Navy service; all its squadrons are at Culdrose.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">2004<\/div>\n<p>March: a tail-rotor failure at Culdrose grounds the Merlins; 16 August: Boscastle flood rescue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">2013<\/div>\n<p>7 June: 736 NAS forms with Hawk T1s as the fleet&rsquo;s aggressor squadron.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">2016<\/div>\n<p>1 January: search and rescue handed to civil contractors; 11 July: last Merlin HM2 delivered.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">2020<\/div>\n<p>21 April: 849 NAS decommissioned, ending the Sea King airborne early warning era.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">2021<\/div>\n<p>March: the first Crowsnest Merlin enters service; initial operating capability follows in July 2023.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<hr class=\"divider\">\n<section id=\"incidents\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">Incidents &amp; stories<\/div>\n<h2>What happened here<\/h2>\n<div class=\"inc\">\n<article>\n<div class=\"incd\">14 August 1979<\/div>\n<h3>The Fastnet storm<\/h3>\n<p>A storm struck the 303 yachts of the Fastnet race; 24 were abandoned and 21 people died, 15 of them competitors.
