Find out what it was like for the young airmen who lived and worked at the station. Read about the day-to-day duties of the men and women posted there, and the thrill of coming face-to-face with an enemy U-boat. Discover the complicated process of launching a seaplane. Learn about the equipment that was loaded on board, including two pigeons, and why one airman always took a fishing rod with him.
