raf pembrey

RAF Pembrey was a Royal Air Force station, home to 233 Operational Conversion Unit which flew de Havilland Vampires and Hawker Hunters until its closure in 1957. Site of the only Astra Dome in the UK. During World War II, in 1942 a Focke-Wulf Fw 190 landed there in error after a dogfight over the Bristol Channel. It was captured by the air traffic controller using the only weapon at hand, a very pistol. RAF Pembrey is now a Caravan Club campsite.The runways are in use by a motoring club. RAF Pembrey was once the base for many of World War II's flying aces including Wing Commander Guy Gibson of Dambusters fame. It is now split into a number of facilities. The Welsh Motor Sports Centre occupies most of the area. An RAF presence is retained through a bombing range. Pembrey Airport remains a working airfield but the short runway retained for this purpose restricts its capacity to small aircraft. However, a scheduled service to London by a nine-seater Britten-Norman Islander aircraft has been proposed. Pembrey Strands, RAF
