RAF Valley
About
RAF Valley opened on Anglesey in North Wales in 1941 as a fighter sector station in No. 9 Group, defending the Irish Sea shipping lanes with Hawker Hurricanes and Bristol Beaufighters and serving as a transatlantic ferry terminal for the USAAF. Since the 1950s it has been one of the RAF’s principal training stations, and it remains busy today as the home of fast-jet pilot training, flying the BAE Systems Hawk, as well as serving as Anglesey’s civil airport.
