After just 4 hours sleep we headed to RAF Valley for peek over the fence at the goings on. Sadly it was very quiet until 20 hawks all took off within a space of 5-10 mins! This was for the 70 formation that flew west to east along the 01-19 runway

Tarnish 05 called up did a run and break on 13 then vertical to 15000. Problem being I was at the 31 end!

Good pics, love the last one of the GR4.

Great shots,

Just to add that there were three Belgian F16s on the ground and that Wartons ZK119 and ZG679 (PC9's) did a very spirited Fly through and climb,

A great day,

Steve

Just got back myself, great shots, but i thought the participents were meagre compared to previous events..

I like the last one! What is VAS?

valley aviation society

So many Hawks! That is cool!

Like the formation shots! Nice to see Warton's finest out and about too

Hawk 70 shots are great. Like that they used both display jets and 3 T2s. I really need to join VAS so I can go again
