Royal Air Force Pembroke Dock
Marine Craft Section

Part One | Part Two


  In these pages we are endeavouring to make a History of the Marine Craft Section Pembroke Dock from the time it started in 1930 up to its close in 1959. Pembroke Dock became the largest flying boat station in the world and the Marine Craft section was one of the main lynch pins. We aim to show those who served there, the launches used and any events that took place over that period of time with photographs and text. Any information or pictures that can help with  the building of this important section of  history would be gratefully appreciated.
