RAF Pembroke dock for FS9


Major seaplane and flying boat base in Pembrokeshire, south west Wales. Home to RAF,RAAF and Dutch units,
escaping Nazi occupation with there Fokker TVIII seaplanes and becoming 320sq during WW2


Also including RAF St Davids, with Ai B24 Liberator's and a retro'd stock Haverfordwest, which was used for
training coastle command units during WW2 with Anson's, Wellington's and Whitley's. Both these are a bit basic
with Ai at St Davids only


You'll need my Manston 44 scenery, my Bradwell Bay scenery and the recently uploaded
Ted Andrews RAF building library.

Thanks Ian,

For an oddity, you could add the Saunders -Roe shadow factory at Beaumaris, where every Catalina used by RAF was prepared for service

Strangely enough,we drove past a few weeks ago whilst holidaying on Anglesey.
IIRC,Catalinas flew directly to Beaumaris on the Menai Straits from the U.S where as Pete says,they were fitted out
to RAF specifications and prepared for service.
Not sure whether the site was ever classified as a bona fide RAF Maintenance Unit though in the sense that RAF Cosford
was(No 9 M.U)preparing Spitfires from Castle Bromwich for service.
However,there are substantial remains of the old factory still on site:
