GRAMPOUND: Military airstrip
Military user: U.S. First Army ‘V’ Corps, 190th Field Artillery Group
Location: Presumably in or near the village of Grampound on the A390, about 6nm W of St Austell and 8nm E of Truro
Period of operation: 1944/5 only?
NOTES: It appears that two Piper L-4 Grasshoppers were based here. Without much doubt U.S. Army troops were based here in the run-up to D-Day.
