You have to provide proof of ID when buying tickets.  The coach tour takes visitors to various points where one can get out and look at buildings, aircraft and equipment, and sometimes to the station cinema for an informative film.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s wise to arrive in good time for the tour so that you can get signed up in time for departure. The high point of the tour I went on was going inside a huge hangar where helicopters were being maintained.  It was all really interesting.<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_520\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-520\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Culdrose364.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Culdrose364-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"View from coach\" title=\"Culdrose364\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-520\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-520\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">View from coach<\/figcaption><\/figure> <figure id=\"attachment_521\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-521\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Culdrose365.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Culdrose365-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"View of helicopter maintenance hangar\" title=\"Culdrose365\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-521\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-521\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Inside maint. hangar<\/figcaption><\/figure> <figure id=\"attachment_522\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-522\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Culdrose366.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Culdrose366-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Inside helicopter maintenance hangar\" title=\"Culdrose366\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-522\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-522\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Inside maint. hangar<\/figcaption><\/figure> <figure id=\"attachment_523\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-523\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Culdrose367.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Culdrose367-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Jet aircraft on parking area\" title=\"Culdrose367\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-523\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-523\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jet aircraft<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a working naval air station, with constant activity as helicopters and fixed wing aircraft take off and land.
