Established in 1918 as a response to the growing threat of German submarine attacks, this seaplane base played a crucial role in coastal patrols. The image showcases an aerial view of the station, highlighting its slipway and jetty. The photograph transports us back to a time when these waters were bustling with activity as brave pilots embarked on their missions to protect our shores. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who served during this tumultuous period in history.
