Oops, I seem to have done it again. Let's review where we've got to.
Coastal Command
A road map would be useful
The gap between the lists is significant
A saint in the south-west of England
Another clue: a base in the SW that was very big with Coastal Command.

They all flew from St Eval?

No, but that's extraordinarily close all the same. Remember that bit about the map.

Just giving this one a little nudge, in case you'd all forgotten ...

ok lerwicks are a thread since only a few dozen were built.
209 squadron and 240 squadron, 422 RCAF perhaps. All draw a blank
flying boats stations in SW? Mount Batten Plymouth?
Dunno it's too obscure.
Put us out of our misery

But that would be cheating!
Remember: St Eval, and a road map. Perhaps if I said street map ... ?

Many of the roads in St. Eval are named after the planes used... Orion Dr., etc.
The gap between the 2 lists is because they are 2 separate housing areas!
am i right??!! i'm just a yank with google earth and too much time on my hands!!

... is the right answer!
Except that I missed out Orion Drive because it's on the wrong side of the main road and was added after the married quarters were built. The gap is between the airmen's and sergeants' quarters (the longer list) and the officers' quarters (the shorter list). But they were all, indeed, aircraft operated by Coastal Command, albeit not all from St Eval itself.
Sorry, this was a bit of a sod of a question, but I couldn't resist as my first address in Cornwall was on Lerwick Road.

Alright then!
The next plane is a bit obscure, and that might be an understatement, as I could only find 1 picture, and almost nothing on the web- That said, the manufacturer's name is clearly spelled out on the nose, so there's a hint for you-

Warren, you're the lucky contestant that hit the nail on the head- I saw it called the Flying Snow Cone, but I did not see any reference to Hoover-

Going on the finish of the sealant around the windsceen I would say it is an older jet that has been updated to digital cockpit... I want everyone else to have a go as I know the plane..

Royal Singaporean Air Force F-5S Tiger II. Galileo Avionica's FIAR Grifo-F X-band radar AMRAAM capable. But I don't think that counts.
