Every now and again I try asking if there is anyone out there who was part of the Airwork Fleet Requirements Unit at St. Davids, Pembrokeshire. I am keen to make contact with anyone who was, to get their stories. I am also still looking for photographs taken there at that time. They are rarer than rocking horse droppings, but there must be some...somewhere! Yes, I have seen one or two of St. Davids based Sea Hornets and Sea Venoms, but none taken at their home base.

Please help if you can, thanks.

Hi Steve, my father David Woodhead was - going to Brawdy when St Davids closed, and then taking the operation to Yeovilton when Brawdy in turn closed.

Here is one of the very few photos that I have, a very nice line of Sea Venoms starting up in around 1956-57. There must be more out there!
