Old photos of Flambards in Cornwall after shock closure

  • Flambards in Helston announced it was closing its doors for good on Monday after nearly 50 years.
  • It was opened in 1976 as the Cornwall Aero Park by the Kingsford-Hale family.
  • It was sold by the family in 2013 to an external company.
  • The new company announced the closure yesterday saying rising costs and a steady decline in visitor numbers had made the park’s operation and further investment unsustainable.
