n RAF St Eval was a strategic station for Coastal Command during the Second World War, in Cornwall and it provided anti-submarine and anti-shipping patrols off the coast.

Its aircraft were also used for photographic reconnaissance missions, meteorological flights, convoy patrols, air-sea rescue missions and protection of the air field from the Luftwaffe.

In June 1940 St Eval became a Fighter Command sector headquarters during the Battle of Britain and Supermarine Spitfires were posted there, later joined by Hawker Hurricane and Bristol Blenheim fighters.
