Summary

[edit]
Description
English: RAF Mona Mona began life as what, by the end of WWI, was called RAF Llangefni. It was a base for non-rigid airships which, with Baldonell near Dublin, was responsible for anti-submarine patrols in the Irish Sea. In 1942, the old base became a training centre, first for air gunners and then for air observers. In 1943 concrete runways were built over an area extending to some 3 square kilometres. In 1946 Mona was declared redundant, but in 1951 it became a relief landing ground for neighbouring RAF Valley. It is used by RAF during the weekdays and in the evenings and at the weekends, since 1974, by the Mona Flying Club. http://ukga.com/airfield/mona/photos
