Any question answered...

Not any more :(

The helicopter service from Penzance stopped about 6 months ago.

Only the ferry (slow ~4hrs IIRC) or the plane from Lands End (15-20mins) now :(

I have many fond memories of that helicopter, as I was born on Scilly and lived there until I was 10 - an awesome place to grow up as a kid

That makes me so sad. That was the only journey I had in a helicopter, that I had that wasn't a sightseeing journey.
