Neil Clark Posted 3 April , 2007 Share Posted 3 April , 2007 I think Pembroke II refers to either Sheerness Dock Yard or Eastchurch RNAS station both of which were located on the Isle of Sheppy in Kent. One more possibility is the RNAS Air Ship Station at nearby Kingsnorth on the Isle of Grain in Medway, Kent. HMS Pembroke as you probably know was located at Chatham Royal Naval Barracks in Kent. I am quite sure that Pembroke II was based nearby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horatio2 Posted 3 April , 2007 Share Posted 3 April , 2007 HMS PEMBROKE II was an accounting base at Chatham for small ships and outstations. Since it was just an office full of RN Writers, scribbling away at pay accounts, I don't think a photo would be especially enlightening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calvin Posted 3 April , 2007 Author Share Posted 3 April , 2007 thanks horatio2, i totally agree with, do you know what the 1822 s.t. trim means , would it be something to do with steam trawler trimmer, or am i off line , thanks john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horatio2 Posted 3 April , 2007 Share Posted 3 April , 2007 I think that is his official number 1822.ST - ST denotes a Trimmer in the Special Trawler Section. I hope an 'expert' will confirm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
