Patient, Howard Harrison suggested
the panel idea to the Pembroke Dock Sunderland Trust, which runs the Flying
Boat Centre Workshop and the newly opened Fleets to Flying Boats Centre in the
Royal Dockyard.
The panel, donated by the
Trust, is now displayed alongside many evocative images and photographs of Sunderlands,
which were based at Pembroke Dock for nearly 20 years. It includes several
photographs of Sunderlands and a brief history of their special links with the
town and Haven Waterway including Sunderland
survivor T9044 which sank in the Haven in 1940.
Mr Harrison was on hand to
formally present the new panel to Tilly Morrissey, the Resource
Centre Manager, who said: “We are very grateful to Mr Harrison and to
the Trust for this very special display. Mr Harrison has, along with Mr Tony
Jones and other patients, donated many Sunderland
items to the hospital. This panel sets the ‘Sunderland
story’ in context with the ward. I am sure that patients and visitors alike
will really enjoy looking at all of these items.”
