The Cornwall Aviation Heritage Centre (CAHC) is to be permanently closed from October 31 after Cornwall Council announced that it was withdrawing support. In a statement that has now taken social media and various aviation forums by storm, CAHC's management said: "It is with heavy hearts and dismay that we can confirm that we are set to close permanently following Cornwall Council's decision to no longer support our museum and therefore evict us from our site without viable alternatives being offered. The Cornwall Aviation Heritage Centre is a unique, highly successful, interactive aerospace visitor centre and education hub based at Cornwall Airport, near to the new Spaceport Cornwall. "CAHC was created by local people, is privately funded, pays commercial rents to Cornwall Council and is becoming nationally recognised as an aerospace site of excellence, yet Cornwall Council has failed to recognise the cultural and heritage value of our museum."
