INCREDIBLE images show an RAF Chinook on a training sortie in Anglesey.
Photographer Graeme Livingston (Graeme Livingston: LivLife Images) captured the heavy-lift helicopter hovering over RAF Valley, near Holyhead, on April 9.
RAF Valley is home to No 4 Flying Training School, responsible for training the UK's next generation of fighter pilots, and is also home to the Mountain Rescue Service.

The Chinook is described by the RAF as an extremely capable and highly versatile support helicopter that can be operated from land bases or seaborne vessels into a range of diverse environments, from the Arctic to the desert or jungle.
The aircraft may be heavily armed and is fitted with a suite of self-defence equipment allowing it to operate across highly contested battlespace.
Chinooks are primarily used for trooping, resupply and battlefield casualty evacuation, but the crews are trained to accomplish these tasks under threat from both ground and air based enemies.
