Angela Merkel has flown into Newquay airport, but will she be invited to the get-together at the Eden Project tonight?

Earlier reports suggested that Biden's aircraft landed at a USAF base in Suffolk, yet later reports said that the runway at Newquay was extended to allow Air Force One to land safely.

Better known to many, as RAF St. Mawgan.

Do you think that the short stop at Mildenhall was to refuel? - thus avoiding possible fuel contamination?

RAF St. Mawgan.

Good god!

Does that fukkin place still exist?

Why?

I sorta unnerstan why the henge is allowed to continue to exist at a place called Stone, but Mawgan really ought to be repurposed and turned into a housing estate for deservedly poor people.

It has been repurposed as a transport facility for the deservedly poor people of North Cornwall.
