A war veteran’s reminiscences of Tenby’s RAF rescue unit have been saved for posterity by the HistoryPoints information project.

Clifford Burkett, one of the last surviving servicemen from the unit on Tenby harbour, died in August just weeks after giving History Points his recollections of the unit.

The unit - now the Tenby harbour office - carried out essential work during the Second World War, with its high speed launches always on standby to rescue airmen from the sea.

Anyone with a modern mobile phone or tablet can now scan the QR codes displayed outside the building to read the history of the unit. Mr Burkett’s full recollections are on a separate Footnotes page.

The old sailor’s family took him to Tenby last June, and his daughter, Ruth Crowther, said: “He was so happy to be back there. We had a flat in the blue house next to the church in the harbour, so he was in view of the building on the harbour wall.”

The HistoryPoints QR code information can also be viewed at www.historypoints.org.

The web page about the rescue unit is one of 250 which are joined together along the 870-miles Wales Coast Path. Of these, 29 relate to Pembrokeshire, including Pembroke Castle, the remains of the Tudor blockhouse near Angle and the Last Invasion tapestry at Fishguard.
