Just another flipping roundabout. Also love the smell of burnt Kero, brings back happy memories of working at Manchester Airport.

just seen this. Oh no, i used to love listening to the helichopter taking off while we were sitting on marazion.

Where does it fly from now?

It doesn't. Either Skybus from Lands end when its not wet or misty or the Scillonian from PZ. Take your sick bag if you choose the sea crossing as the Scillonian is almost flat bottomed to allow it through the shallow passageways.

Can you not get the skybus from Newquay airport to st Mary's ?

Yes, and it's a bigger plane too (Twin Otter), so you don't have to be weighed!
The landing on St Mary's is still scary though, especially if there's a cross wind.

Ive never been to scilly in all the years ive been going to cornwall.

Is there much to see and do or is it just nice for a day out?

I'm ashamed to say I've never been , but as kids my folks had a timeshare there , just their hidey hole when we where sent off to grandparents in the hols , but plenty go , especially for the gig racing ...would be a great day trip , but not on the boat , wastes too much of the day .

We've been once for a five day break in a B&B, supposed to have flown both ways but fog on the way to Lands end so ended up on the Scillonian, never again as my Wife was sick, along with many others, all the way there. The aircraft from Lands end is only very small and they weigh all the passengers before you can fly, we were lucky on the way back as a couple of school boys were on the same flight so they allowed me to fly . Have to be honest and say that if you don't like walking and looking at the countryside I wouldn't bother going as there's much else there. This of course is just my opinion and not intended to play down the beauty of these islands.
