Sunderland for Pembroke Dock and the Sunderland Suite
At last nights (10th July 2008) Pembroke Dock Town Council meeting the
Mayor Councillor Ron Watts accepted on behalf of Pater Hall Trust and
the Town Council a model of a
Sunderland Flying Boat from Dot and Graham Roberts of Pembroke
Dock
The Sunderland was
presented to the Town by Mr and Mrs Roberts who explained "My late
brother Brian was very interested in collecting different items &
amongst his collection we found this model of a Sunderland flying boat,
what to do with it was a bit of a problem, but after having a word with
my other brother Roy who lives in Canada (both my brothers by the way
did their time in the Royal Air Force, me I went into the Army) we
decided to present it to the Pater Hall Trust and Pembroke Dock Town
Council, who we felt might be interested, after all, as we know PD was
one of the largest Sunderland flying boat stations in the world (if not
the largest) Having spoken to our Mayor Councillor Ron Watts and Town
Clerk Ian Jones both said they would be pleased and honoured to
accept the model and agreed they could find an appropriate place to
display it in the Pater Hall’s refurbished Sunderland Suite. So
therefore on behalf of our family Dot and I were pleased to present this
model to the Town of Pembroke Dock for safe keeping."
