GMP emergency diversion

I was crew on board G-GMPB BN Defender when we were training overhead Anglesey in July 2002. A suspected fuel leak forced us to make a rapid descent and unannounced emegency landing at Valley. It was weekend and I dont think the tower was manned ?
We taxied to the SAR ramp and was invited to an ongoing squadron BBQ after a few hours we were collected by MT and driven back to Manchester ! The aircraft stayed
