Straddle - 422 Squadron mascot - RCAF
Another way of spreading the word about your attraction - write a book about the squadron mascot!
In ‘Straddle, Webfoot War Dog’ - the spaniel that flew on operations John Evans of the Flying Boat Centre in Pembroke Dock has brought together the little dog’s action-packed story, covering the last 18 months of World War II, and it is illustrated with 60 photographs - from the logbook and from John’s own collection.
