back back RAF Carew Cheriton, Pembrokeshire

Carew Cheriton airfield was an airship station (RNAS PEMBROKE;MILTON AIR STATION - NPRN 407783) in the first world war, and was developed in the 1930s to accept aeroplanes to complement nearby Pembroke Dock's flying boat base. The airfield has a decoy site nearby.

In recent years, the airfield has been cleared leaving only a perimeter track, a few stretches of concrete and hangar foundations and a control tower of unusual design. Other survivals include a dome turret training building. The domestic buildings were demolished to make way for the widening of the A477. Interesting restoration by the Carew Cheriton Control Tower Group, and turned into a museum which is open to the public.
