Not too difficult this week. Near as I can figure it, the answers are:
1. Ramsay
2. South Bishop Lighthouse
An island noted for its birdlife, with a highest point 446ft and a name which means 'wild garlic island' is Ramsay island in the Pembrokeshire national park in Wales. A saint whose feast day is the 5th of December who lived there was St Justinian which is the name of the ferry terminal hamlet that 'Mulligan' (the puzzle author) is describing. If you look at the satellite pictures, you can see that there are several islands west of Ramsay but only the southernmost one, has any human constructions on it and this is the south Bishop lighthouse.
The broadcaster who transmitted from a Lancaster bomber above Berlin, was Wynford Vaughn-Thomas. He was born in Swansea, in 1908 but lived for a time in Fishguard and opened the Pembrokeshire coast path. If you drive northwest from Swansea, you come to Fishguard. The Resistance and the Constance were two ships involved in a French invasion in 1797 which happened around the Fishguard area. The stumble head lighthouse was built c1908 , is 56ft high and is on an island (St Michaels island) off a headland near Fishguard.
