By Sarah Johnson PUBLISHED: 13:29 EST, 4 February 2013 | UPDATED: 15:08 EST, 4 February 2013 One of the best preserved Second World War airfields in the country has been put up for sale. Perranporth, home of 24 RAF squadrons between 1941 and 1944, has been put on the market by former mobile phone magnate John George, with an asking price of £1.5million. The 330-acre site in West Cornwall still features an original control tower, underground bunker, fighter shelters, pill boxes and the armaments depot which Mr George converted into the HQ of Jag Communications - once Britain's third largest independent mobile phones retailer.
