RAF Valley has issued a “heads-up” about aircraft activity set to take place at the Anglesey site.

The base often hosts daytime flights of Hawk T2 and Texan planes, but there will be more weekend and night flights in the next couple of weeks.

Those passing by the base’s perimeter fence have also been asked to take care amid the increased downdraft from Chinook helicopters.

A statement from RAF Valley read: “As many of our followers will know, RAF Valley first made its name as a night fighter base, as part of Fighter Command's 9 Group - protecting Wales, the North West and Northern Ireland from Nazi bombers. 

“The ability to fly and fight at night is no less important a skill for our pilots today than it was in the past.  

“We will be conducting some night flying training, including over two weekends in the coming weeks; starting next weekend - and we will also play host over the next few weeks to one of our regular annual joint exercises involving other units.

“Some of the flying will involve our own aircraft and we will also be hosting Chinooks, and perhaps the occasional A400.

“Once more, we thank you for your forbearance and support.

“We ask that those who are cycling, riding or indeed walking their dogs, close to our perimeter fence, to take heed of the increased downdraft from the Chinook helicopters as they approach and depart RAF Valley.”
