NOTAM set up

I'd imagine this is because of the national eisteddford notam in place which overlaps the circuit at Valley.

I found a Notam 4569/17 a four day exercise involving multiple Fast Jets commencing on 7th, August 2017 W/I 5 Nautical Miles of
Llanbedr on from 08.00 to 16.00. Is Shell Island still a good viewing location?. ATC 118.925

[Dan D'Air]

Yes, Shell Island is still a good spot for watching. Down by the harbour will get you on the line of the main runway. You have to pay to get onto the island but it's worth it.
Another good viewing point is the lay-by just to the south of Llanbedr village.
Also, Jindivik cafe on the airfield is a good viewing spot. Go through the gates of the airfield and turn right.
I believe that you will see Hawks and Griffins this week.
