Is that Coombe at 1:03?

Very interesting video phil

Fake, saw someone with a smart phone.

Was great and comforting to see the young chap at 2:30 skimming stones where I always do the same thing in that same spot with 75 years parting us. Thanks for sharing the video!

What a posting? And all them Cornish Maids there. Lovely.

Not WW2 but I enlisted into the RAF in 1982, and my first posting after training was to Portreath. I spent 3 years there. You can briefly see where I worked. The caption states it’s the domestic site. I was a Steward in the Combined Ranks Mess. The building has since been demolished.

Oh this is amazing

There is a glimpse in this film of FY19. Here she is fully open decked and no fore cabin. Is this the Tosher that I knew in the 1960's belonging to Chris Cloke which now is still to be seen in the harbour converted back again to an open boat and lying at moorings under a fitted canvas cover?

Hey Phil, you were sat next to my camera bag :-)

there it is and i wish 6400 is steamed.

The railway ran at the bottom of my uncles cottage ( Scraesdon cottage ). all gone now a few 100 yeards from the fort .. in the 50s my uncle keep his pigs in the fort. I used to play with the officers sons who lived in the fort we went all over the fort

My father had his first radar experience at the Jacka in August and September 1943. He was then transferred, with other radar personnel, to the Calcutta area for two years to deal with Japanese threats. He and his wife of 9 months spent their first-ever weeks of married life together in Treverbyn House in Veryan, along with other more rowdy RAF men who made life very tiresome. Thank you for your informative little video.

Excellent video mate and nice bit of history they're too I did go to that location the other day first time ever

Magic video m8

A fascinating history. Thanks for posting this. It'll give more meaning the next time I walk or cycle the trail.

King George VI did observe Operation Splint (or he visited the ships shortly after Operation Splint and prior to the Invasion of Normandy)! I have done extensive research on my grandfather's service aboard LST-286, and I came across the following entry in the May 1944 War Diary of LST Group THIRTY: "(3) On May 25, 1944 at 1030 British Summer Time, His Majesty King George VI inspected the U.S. Landing Craft at Portland. He was accompanied by Admiral Ramsay, R.N., Rear Admiral Kirk, Rear Admiral Hall, and Rear Admiral Wilkes of the U.S. Navy. King George and his party inspected the LST 357, and reviewed the crew at quarters. Following this inspection, the King toured the Portland Harbor and observed the ships present." P.S. -- my grandfather is featured in your video! The first ship featured in your video is LST-286. I can't thank you enough for putting together this footage.

Those first cottages my Dad's family lived there

Followed a link from Facebook. I'd forgotten how dreadful this song was 💩

Love this.

I live in Mullion..

This was beautiful to watch. I can vividly remember holidaying as a young child where we stayed in a little cottage in a narrow road leading to a cobbled slipway onto the beach. I remember the smell of bread baking in the street. But I didn’t know where it was until I saw a news item about the storm of 2014 and the reporter was standing on that slipway to a beach… Gorran Haven! I have many happy memories of that holiday and watching this wonderful montage brought them all back. Thank you.

youtube.com/@twowheelexploration9228?si=r4Fehzb62FDXzHyc Here's a link to my Channel I have done many videos relating to WW2 history in Cornwall. Would be great to oneday work together. Best wishes.

Great vid. My Grandmother's relations were killed at the house in Lister Street. She often told me that her and her Mother were envited for tea there that night but as a child my Gran didn't want to go. So they didn't go luckily

Dear Phil Thanks So Much for recording all of this with such thoughtful precision and HUGE EFFORT… I also live in Cornwall ( Polruan) and you have educated ,enlightened and enriched my experience ….there’s no better legacy to impart …The Price Of Freedom Is Eternal Vigilance ….History is the Vehicle of Foresight .

Many thanks indeed

Thank You So Much for showing us all this FASCINATING History of an area I have lived in for many years and with a boat have explored The River Fowey….Gosh …your attention to detail together with the background music is EXEMPLARY…WELL Done for METICULOUS research and graphics … FULL Marks ALL ROUND I SAY.

This was needed….well done

My Dad was in 5th Commandos after Dunkirk. He was based in Falmouth.

Precioso video

My Mum was evacuated to Mullion from London during WW2. Sadly she passed away a couple of weeks ago but she always had a place for Mullion in her heart.

I had the great privilege of meeting Sister Ruth in 2007, I completed primary education at the Camundambala school where she was responsible for it, today I have a degree in Computer Engineering. It was an irreparable loss for us

What a lovely clip and in colour too. I lived in Polperro for ten years, it will always be my spiritual home.

@FishingCanterbury 11 years ago Good Video.

@lyndonallen4359 3 years ago You are incorrect on your Eastern pill box at charlestown, there was a large lamp in that shed, used to illuminate the breakwater at night for shipping purposes, the concrete plinth you said was where the home guard shed was is also incorrect, that is the remains of an ice cream shop, the Eastern pill box was at the top of the 1st field, still there today but compl buried, lyndon Allen, Charlestown history group

@jrybialek 6 years ago Phil. Do you know what the two iron pipes set in the ground, either side of the road, Mount Charles side of the iron bridge on Holmbush Road? Were they used for a WW2 roadblock? If you go my Facebook page, Alex Rybialek, and look in my Timeline photo album you can see photos of them. I hope you know the answer to this puzzle. Cheers.

@2DFlightSim 9 years ago Really interesting stuff thanks for making this video. I live in Australia now,

@CelticSaint 11 years ago Another brilliant video. Many thanks. Those pill boxes would make a cracking place to lay low for a while, should the need arise!
