site and some commuting from St Merryn. Facilities eventually included a grass tennis court for the WRENS to use. The tennis posts were still extant into the early 1990's. Off-site were other associated buildings, at Treligga Downs near the building later renamed the Poldark Inn, a building was used for counting holes in drogue targets. These were dropped by towing aircraft and retrieved by the Wrens, who laid them out on long tables and counted the holes. A reward of five shillings (25p) was offered to any member of the public who found a missing target. There was a further dive screen shelter (block built) in afield near Trebarwith Village and targets were positioned in Port Isaac bay for air to sea attacks. Near the cliff at Dannon Chapel was a quadrant shelter (equipped with a quadrant) which was used to assess the accuracy of attacks on floating bombing targets. This shelter (useful for walkers on the coastal footpath) was demolished in the late 1990's when the National Trust decided it was an eyesore. HMS Vulture II modelled on a Pacific island When action moved to the Japanese war in the Pacific HMS Vulture II was adapted to represent the typical lay-out of a Japanese-held territory and was modelled on the island of Tarawa. Real and dummy tanks, a bridge and a road convoy were located near one of the airstrips and a small railway was built to provide moving targets. By December 1944 squadron commanders and senior pilots destined for the Pacific were using it for intensive training. The tanks which numbered at least 6 and possibly 10 arrived at Delabole by rail and were driven through the village from the station to Treligga, several front steps and gates and at least one small building were demolished by the tanks during this operation. Post World War II After the war, the range continued in operation for the School of Naval Air Warfare and was in great demand by squadrons detached to RNAS St Merryn for armament practice until the early 1950s. It has been recalled that Treligga was used as an air to ground rocket range and rocket firing became a daily occurrence. In particular Fairey Gannets using the range would continuously fire rockets from a release point near Trecarne Quarry for several hours and must have kept the ground crews at RNAS St Merryn busy in rapid reloading
