The dive team from The Flying Boat Centre Pembroke Dock have been busy this summer. Their boat has been seen moored above the submerged Mark1 Sunderland on the Cleddau river where preparations are taking place for an eventual recovery.

For nearly 70 years the unique wartime example of a Short Sunderland Flying Boat, one of the most famous types in aviation history, has rested on the seabed off Pembroke Dock. One of its Pegasus Engines has been recovered and many of its component parts are on display at the fascinating Flying Boat Interpretation Centre, Sunderland House, The Royal Dockyard, Pembroke Dock, Pembrokeshire http://www.pdst.co.uk/

Opening times are Tues - Sat 10pm - 4pm Please phone before visiting to avoid disappointment.
