PENFRO Modellers Club Show returned after a three year interval due to the coronavirus pandemic.

First staged with great success in 2019, the show was again held at Pembroke Dock Heritage Centre, on Saturday April 23rd.

Model clubs and individual modellers from all over west Wales and as far as Cardiff set up stalls displaying ships, military and civilian vehicles, aircraft and dioramas of the future.

In the chapel grounds three World War II Jeeps and a camouflaged Land Rover prompted lots of interest.

“We were so pleased to be back in action after all the hold ups of the last three years” said Peter Mitchell, co-ordinator for Penfro Modellers, “and the public support was splendid.
