About Flying Boat Centre - Pembroke Dock Sunderland Trust

A group to showcase the work of The Pembroke Dock Sunderland Trust (registered charity in England and Wales: 1120476). The initial aim - the recovery of the world's only surviving Mark I Sunderland - remains a cornerstone and many parts of this wartime survivor have already been recovered and displayed.

In 2009 the Trust opened a Flying Boat Interpretation Centre and Workshop within the old Royal Dockyard. The Centre, has been hugely successful, attracting many thousands of visitors.

Sunderland T9044 has become the catalyst for wider heritage initiatives centred on Pembroke Dock's remarkable military heritage. This is a town with long and important links with all three Armed Services. No other town in the UK can claim to such special connections with the Royal Navy, the Army and the RAF.

The Trust is leading initiatives to create a centre which will reflect this remarkable Military Heritage and the social development of a community which is not yet 200 years old. Plans centre on the beautifully restored Garrison Chapel, dating from 1830, and one of the most significant military buildings in Wales.

The Trust's supporters and funders include Heritage Lottery Fund, Pembrokeshire County Council, Chevron, Milford Haven Port Authority, Townscape Heritage Initiative/Welsh Assembly Government/RDP
