British English: Royal Air Force Station Valley, in Anglesey, North Wales.
RAF Valley is a Royal Air Force station on the island of Anglesey, Wales. We provide advanced pilot training using the BAE Hawks for pilots. No. 4 Flying Training School (4FTS) takes Royal Air Force (RAF) and Royal Navy (RN) pilots from No. 1 Flying Training School (1FTS) at RAF Linton-on-Ouse and trains them to fly fast jets, prior to training on an Operational Conversion Unit. 4FTS is divided into two squadrons; No. 208 Squadron RAF provides the advanced flying training, students then moving onto No. 19 Squadron RAF to receive tactics and weapons training. Valley is also home to 'C' Flight of No. 22 Squadron RAF with Sea King helicopters. These are busy in the search and rescue (SAR) role, rescuing people from ships in the Irish Sea, from the mountains of nearby Snowdonia and elsewhere. The mountain rescue work in Snowdonia is coordinated with Plas y Brenin, the Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue Organisation and the RAF Valley Mountain Rescue Teams. RAF Mona, also on Anglesey, acts as a relief landing ground (RLG). The Welsh Assembly Government in Cardiff has given the official go-ahead for commercial flights to start at Valley early in 2007. This forms part of an initiative to boost the economy of North West Wales. Two daily flights are planned between Valley and Cardiff International Airport, with capacity to increase the number of flights to ten. The project received £800,000 from the government in Cardiff towards building the civilian enclave on the RAF Valley site.
