Did any do practise approaches to main rwy at Valley first, before landing?
As I recall, Valley were using the main (rwy 13) for hawk traffic and the "cross" rwy 19 for texan landings am.
Gone are the days of the AJ detachments I guess.
Cheers

They must have arrived at around 14.00 on the 21st according to the timings in the link that EGVP provided, but FAF7658 seems a strange call-sign for an Alpha Jet.
Did 4 arrive or was it just 3?

Hex 3B7658 (E110) was one of them. Perhaps the OP had one of those moments and mixed callsign and hex.
