Valley
Sorry to intrude on the Military forum...if this is posted in the wrong spot, feel free to move it accordingly...
I've got 2 small kids who have an encouraging fascination for all things that fly and seeing as I've got a caravan in N Wales, I'd love to take them to Valley to see some military action. Where's the best place to get a view of take-off/landings? As a former inhabitant of deepest darkest N Norfolk, I've got pleasant memories of being taken by my Dad (ex-RAF) to watch the planes at Coltishall/Marham etc and of visiting Mildenhall Airshow - I'd love to give the same oppportunities to a couple of plane mad kids...
Thanks!

Why not send a request to the station public relations officer and see if you can get a closer look, ie a station visit? Valley has a public beach on pretty much 3 sides of it so thats usually a good place for a bit of spotting.

The caravan site at Rhosneigr is offset about 100 yards from the approach to and is a couple of hundred yards from the end of 32 at Valley. (I remember it well. Our son booked us into a B&B the other side of the road once).
if thats your bag there is a little car park right next to the hunter gate guard at valley, next to the taxiiway and threshold for 19
An enterprise worthy of the legendary 'lad' Milo Wildpig!
Is it just me or does that photo in the RAF Valley contact us website look like something out of a porn video

The Golfers Solution
If you play golf, play round Rhosneigr Golf Club. You would have cheap caddies.
If not nip in for tea and biscuits, the planes will cause you to duck as they fly over the patio area

If you can all tear yourselves away from looking at the lady in the picture, and look at the bigger picture.
It is abviously a picture of somebody looking at a radar screen, so why do we not see the letters and numbers back-to-front? Since we can read them, they must be back-to-front on her radar screen.
Or maybe it's really like that, and that's why she looks confused.
I'll get my coat.
