The met mast, due to be deployed in early March, will be sighted on the old airfield, half a kilometre inland of East Pickard Bay, for a duration of 15 months.

Blue Gem Wind has received planning consent to install a met mast on the Angle Peninsula in Wales to gather wind resource data for floating wind projects in the Celtic Sea.
The met mast, due to be deployed in early March, will be sited on the old airfield, 0.5 km inland of East Pickard Bay, in Pembrokeshire, for a duration of 15 months.
Stakeholder manager David Jones said: “The met mast will provide wind speed and other weather-related data so we can better understand the wind resource of the Celtic Sea.
“This important data will enable us to optimise the design of potential offshore floating wind projects in the region. Once the data has been collected the mast will be removed.”
