On a rain lashed night November 21, 1940 Sunderland flying boat serial No T9044 of 210 sqdn, was at her mooring on Milford Haven. As the winds tore at her, the forward mooring post ripped away leaving her fatally wounded. Silently and unseen, she sank to the seabed 50 feet below. There, she would remain, a sleeping giant waiting to be re-awakened.
