Ww11 Factory, Llanfaes.
A Memory of Llangoed.
If you walk North along the beach from Beaumaris to Llangoed you pass both the old lifeboat station & you will see some large buildings to the left, (on the right in this photo, just after the road junction) on the other side of the coast road, & the remains of a slipway at low tide.
During WW11 Saunders-Roe moved their modification of Catalina flying boats for UK service from the Isle of Wight to Angelsey, making it more difficult for the Germans to bomb. The four engined Short Sunderland's were also repaired here. I also found a picture of one of the four or five experimental Spitfires equipped with floats taxiing out on Fryars Bay.
There is an excellent memory on the Llanfraes section.
