Family members from all over the UK have met up at Pembroke Dock Heritage Centre to view a new display centred on an RAF airman who flew in Sunderland flying boat T9044.

Many parts of the flying boat are on view in the Centre.

Brother and sister Ross Burrows, from Grimsby, and Nikki Soysa, who lives in the Hebrides, were joined by cousin Shirley Shelley Hutchinson, from Yorkshire, and Ross’ wife, Dianne - all members of the family of the late Wing Commander David Burrows. He was the navigator on Sunderland T9044 on its last flight to Pembroke Dock in November 1940, sinking in the Haven days later.

The family have donated David Burrows’ logbook, uniforms and other memorabilia now incorporated in the display, alongside many other T9044 artefacts.

Ross said: “The museum team has made a wonderful exhibit about Dad and his story. It is a fantastic place and the enthusiasm shines through of all the team involved there. We will be sending more family members to visit!”

The Heritage Centre is open Mondays to Fridays, 10am-4pm.
