A huge green Sunderland is signposting Pembroke Dock's very popular Flying Boat Centre Workshop - but only the birds, and the occasional pilot, can really get a grandstand view.
The grassed area alongside the Centre, located inside the walls of the former Royal Dockyard, has been marked out with the exact dimensions of the famous Short Sunderland - length 85 ft and 112 ft wingspan.
Created by members of the Sunderland Trust's enthusiastic volunteer team, the Sunderland's unique shape stands out because the grass is mowed at two different heights.
This aerial view was taken by Sunderland Trust volunteer Sue Clarkson from an aircraft flown by husband Graham - also a volunteer. Plans are now being formulated to make best use of the grass Sunderland.
Ground level views of the 'Green Sunderland' can be had when visiting the Flying Boat Centre Workshop which is open Tuesdays to Fridays, 10 am to 4 pm. Entry is free.
