seakingA HOLIDAYMAKER was airlifted from Caldey Island on Tuesday afternoon with suspected anaphylactic shock. Both Tenby lifeboats were launched at around 3.30pm following reports a tourist had collapsed on the island. The lifeboats were quickly on scene and the inshore lifeboat was able to ferry a paramedic and coastguard team ashore because of the low tide. After the casualty had been assessed by paramedics, it was decided that he needed to be evacuated by helicopter and RAF Rescue 169 was requested.

Galactic Triumph! Heritage Centre transforms for epic Falcon Fun Day

Published

on

THE TOWERING figure of Chewbacca made a grand first time entry to Pembrokeshire on Bank Holiday Monday, starring in the second Falcon Fun Day at Pembroke Dock Heritage Centre.

The famous Star Wars character joined other re-enactors, including Darth Vader, Stormtroopers and Luke Skywalker, posing for countless photographs with the many hundreds of visitors who flocked to the centre in bright sunshine.

Starring inside the centre was R2-D2, the legendary droid from the Star Wars films. Re-enactors, from the 501st UK Garrison costuming group, travelled from across Wales and as far away as Milton Keynes to join in an event which is already becoming a firm favourite for Star Wars fans of all ages from a very wide area.
The Heritage Centre features a permanent exhibition telling the story of how the ‘Millennium Falcon’ spaceship was built in secret in a former RAF hangar in the 1970s for the Star Wars film ‘The Empire Strikes Back’.


Mark Williams, leader of the Falcon project, said: “The lightsaber training proved very popular all day and the virtual reality experience was a huge success. We are grateful to all the visitors for their support and patience as there were, at times, long queues. We shall be back again next year.”
