Pembrey is open again but not licensed. Some drainage work required to satisfy the CAA which will take a couple of months once its dry enough to get heavy machinery onto the grass. Strictly PPR during week when bombing range open for business, all welcome weekends and public holidays. Good caff, (as is Swansea where Reggae sauce, as seen in Dragons Den is available for purchase.)

If you're in this area, West Wales Airport (formerly Aberporth) is very welcoming. It's under the pimple of D201 but there's no problem joining as they have an understanding with the range to operate normally up to 1nm north of centre line. Just join from the south and call in plenty of time. Only restriction is occasional uav flying so a phone call before departure is a good idea but not essential. No cafe, but the kettle is always on and one of the boys will show you the nearby layby with wicked bacon butties.
