World War Two: 80th anniversary of Pemrokeshire plane crash

On the afternoon of the crash, Warrant Officer Stan Kearey and his crew were off duty after completing a nine hour anti-submarine patrol the previous day.

That changed when the Royal Navy offered the use of one of their submarines for an exercise and the crew were quickly contacted and scrambled.

All except for one – Air Gunner Danny Quinn, who was in town doing his laundry.

He returned to his barracks to find his crew had been called out. The following morning he found out that his crewmates had crashed in the Welsh hills.

Four of the crew are buried at Haverfordwest in Pembrokeshire.
