Royal Naval Air Station St Merryn, commonly referred to as RNAS St Merryn, (HMS Vulture, later HMS Curlew) is a former military airbase of the Royal Navy located 7.35 miles (11.83 km) northeast of Newquay, Cornwall and 11.8 miles (19.0 km) northwest of Bodmin, Cornwall, England.
RNAS St Merryn was constructed during World War 2 with the stone for the runway being quarried from nearby Stepper Point and brought by sea.
Two days later on 11 October there was another air raid on St Merryn.
