Note: This map gives only the location of the town within the UK.
MILFORD HAVEN: Seaplane trials
NOTES: After travelling around Europe demonstrating Bristol monoplanes, in January the following year (1912) Captain Pixton, along with Mr (later Wing-Commander) H R Busteed went to Madrid with a 70hp Gnome-Bristol biplane and a 50hp Gnome-Bristol monoplane, and flew before the King of Spain. At the end of February he went for five weeks to MILFORD HAVEN to experiment with a Bristol seaplane. From there he went to Doeberitz near Berlin with a Bristol monoplane and after that to France to test another at St Cyr.
MILFORD HAVEN: Balloon Station
Military users: RNAS/RAF Kite Balloon Station
Period of operation: 1917 to 1919
Site area: 6 acres
MILFORD HAVEN: Military seaplane base?
NOTES: HQ for 77 Wing, No.14 (Marine Operations) Group formed from RNAS units into the RAF which was formed on the 1st April 1918. Was this the same location as LAWRENNY FERRY used in WW2? If so it does seem to suggest aircraft were operating here, at least at the end of WW1. These locations are not to be confused with PEMBROKE DOCK which is situated at the eastern end of Milford Haven.
