RAF Manorbier

RAF Manorbier

RAF Manorbier was a Royal Air Force airfield in World War II. It was operational from 1935, closing on 1 September 1946. The airfield was located near the village of Manorbier, Pembrokeshire, Wales.

It was under the control of 11 Group and 70 Group, RAF Fighter Command.

One unit resident was the "Pilotless Aircraft Unit" (PAU) (5 May 1942 - 15 March 1946) which modified aircraft for unmanned operation.

Nearby, and in current use as of 2008, is the Royal Artillery Range Manorbier (aka Air Defence Range Manorbier).
