DH Dash 7
A Brymon Airways De Haviland of Canada Dash 7 on St. Mary's Airport for part of the celebration of 50 years of Aviation in Scilly in 1977 (I think ) I believe it only ever landed the one time and this was with no passengers . It was not long before the runways were rebuilt and extended . ......Robin Mawer

Old & New Porthlow Terrace
" OLD & NEW " An old photo of Porthlow Terrace taken sometime after World War 2 showing the result of when a bomb hit No.1 demolishing it and destroying most of No,2 after a stick of bombs was dropped down across Porthlow Farm narrowly missing Altamira which lost all its glass as did the Farmhouse with a bomb which landed just behind where Chalet 2 is now where the dip plain to see. Nobody was hurt and a baby in its cot was blown clean out on to the Green unharmed ! The Today one shows how it is now in 2023......Robin Mawer
