VH-KDK Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 A flight from Pembrey Airfield to Carmarthen down the Tywi Estuary then across to Llanelli and the Loughar Estuary. Leaving Pembrey and following the A484 to Carmarthen. First view of the Tywi Estuary. Claiming to be the oldest town in Wales, Carmarthen sits on the River Tywi. Legend has it that Merlin was born in a cave near to Carmarthen. Carmarthen is the HQ for the Dyfed-Powys Police and has a campus for the University of Wales, Heading down the Tywi Estuary. The Mouth of The Tywi with Llanstefan and Ferryside on the opposite side of the estuary. The Taf Estuary. Just visible is the town of Laugharne which was the home of Dylan Thomas. It is said to be the town that was featured in his famous book Under Milk Wood where it was known as Llareggub....which is Buggerall spelt backwards! Pembry Burrows with the beach of Cefn Sidan. In the past the shifting sands have claimed several ships. Back over Pembry Airfield and the town of Kidwelly. Over the Loughor Estuary. Burry Port. Amelia Earhart landed here on 17 June 1928 along with Wilmer Stultz and Louis Gordon thus becoming the first woman to fly across The Atlantic. Pil Dafen area of Llanelli. A centre for tinplate production Llanelli also has a proud Rugby tradition. On the opposite side of the Loughor Estuary are the towns of Crofty and Pen-Clawdd Over the Pembry Burrows. Llanelli is the largest town in Carmarthenshire. The marshes at Pembry Burrows. Landing back at Pembry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaydor Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Brilliant set and narration there VH-KDK. For your information, Pembrey Airfield is used a lot by the Army Air Corps and RAF Helicopters for refuelling when on military training over Wales.. Keep you visits going I am enjoying them. South Wales Valley's next maybe?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Wales Valley's next maybe?? Many thanks James, I forgot to see what activity was at Pembry. I was just looking at doing a flight up some of the valleys, then decided to have another go at loading a Dash-7 which I have been having trouble with....and bingo, got it right. So just about to upload Swansea to Bristol then if I am still awake I will do a valley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
