RAF Valley

RAF Valley in Anglesey is home to the historic No 4 Flying Training School, Strike Commands Air to Air Missile Establishment and also search and rescue helicopters.

The show naturally attracted a big contingent of current and historical RAF types and we include these in Part II including the RAF Valley Solo Display Hawk.

In Part I we show the foreign participants including the national aerobatic teams of Italy and Chile and also some rare privately owned ex-military jets, all of which saw service at Valley at some stage.

RAF St. Mawgan 1989

2 separate tactical attacks by Buccaneers and Jaguars contrast with rare and separate displays by an RAF Hunter T7 and Navy Hunter FGA9. Another rare visitor is an Air Seychelles Boeing 707 and the maritime theme presents an Atlantique, Shackleton and Nimrod.

RAF Valley and RAF Abingdon 1989

Strong winds at Valley and rain at Abingdon force us to combine these 2 events but there is plenty of exciting material including a Hawk tactical attack.
