Close-up of Hawks, Texans, Trainee Pilots and QFIs at RAF Valley (Including a Surprise Merlin)

Описание: This was a particularly windy day recently at RAF Valley. We were able to spot the Hawks and Texans as usual, but also a Jupiter and a Navy Merlin Helicopter. It's clear in the video that a lot of the pilots now in the Hawks, are fresh out of the Texans, however they correct any mistakes very quickly.

Absolutely amazing pilots!

The Merlin was part of a 3 ship that were on detachment to the base, to practice flying in the Snowdonia mountain range. We missed seeing them up close for health reasons (plus R19 is not suitable for wheelchairs), but managed to catch the one in this video, as it left for Cardiff.

We were limited in the footage we could get this time, as people parked up behind us who were oblivious to us filming, and played loads of loud music. It's fine, it just affected our ability to film. So we cut it short and made a video with multiple aircraft types in that we might otherwise have split up.
