15 December 2015 Lieutenant Commander Andy Watts from 771 Naval Air Squadron at Culdrose presented NCI Bass Point with a Squadron Plaque at a buffet supper at Mullion Golf Club earlier this month.

This was to commemorate the professional association both organisations have enjoyed over the past 21 years. The squadron hands over its search and rescue role to Coastguard Helicopters, run by Bristow Helicopters, at Newquay Airport next month.

Lieutenant Commander Watts said that 771 Squadron felt very re-assured whenever they were flying around the Cornish Coast, that there were stations such as NCI Bass Point keeping an eye open for them and the situations they faced.
