Does Valley still have a summer break?

Post by jimbo » Fri May 13, 2022 8:51 am

I think it's August when Valley shuts down?

If the rumoured deployment of 13 Hawk T2 to Brize Norton for the QBF happens expect week Monday 30th will be quiet as well.

No they do not have a summer grant any more, the Sqns use to in the old days of 19 & 208 Sqn but not any more.

Anything known about the above mentioned temp move of Hawks per July 30th to Brize?
As I planned a holiday in northern Wales from August 1-5 and then will leave again to Holland.
Is there less activity planned that week??
