Carew Cheriton Control Tower, Pembrokeshire

A local group of enthusiasts have restored a World War II airfield control tower at the Carew Airfield Pembrokeshire. Having done that they turned their attention to an Avro Anson plane, with many more projects in the pipe line. The control tower is used regularly by educational groups and  will be opened by arrangement for any enthusiastic group.

During World War II the airfield was a base for maritime patrols and then as a training base for air crew wireless operators. In 1941 the base was a hive of acivity with planes regularly flying in and out including Oxfords, Ansons, and occasionaly Spitfires which were based in Angle.

The aim is to create a small museum at the site with a hangar in which to house planes.
