HMS Daedalus II was a British Royal Navy air station and training establishment between 1940 and 1946.
As the airfield in Kent was being transferred back to the RAF an air-sea rescue seaplane base and aircrew training centre was established at the Royal Motor Yacht Club at Sandbanks in Dorset[1] and this base was formally commissioned as HMS Daedalus II on 15 May 1940.
[3] In 1942 an outstation of the Sandbanks base was opened at RNAS Lawrenny Ferry in Pembrokeshire and 764 NAS was moved there as an operational conversion unit.
764 NAS remained at Lawrenny Ferry until October 1943 when the squadron was disbanded and the base reduced to care and maintenance status.
[2] HMS Daedalus II features as a level within the game WW2 Rebuilder under its original name, RAF Lympne.
