RAF Valley 23-Feb-23

[IMarsh]

My first visit to RAF Valley so here is my log for the afternoon from 13:00 onwards together with a request as I was unable (owing to time) to get around the west side of the runway/airfield

I've included callsigns that were in use at the time from ADSBExchange/radio traffic, but some flights used other callsigns from those given below later in the day (feel free to add/correct)

Jupiter's: ZM497 c/s M204, ZM498 c/s M228, ZM499 c/s M206

Hawk T.2's: ZK011 'B' c/s VYT26, ZK031 'FG' c/s AXIS1, ZK036 'FL' c/s AXIS2, ZK013 'D' on apron for photoshoot near civilian terminal

Hawk T.1 XX156 Gate Guardian.

Texan's: ZM323 c/s METEOR1, ZM328 c/s VYT06, ZM329 c/s VYT14 , ZM330 c/s VYT89, ZM332 c/s METEOR2, ZM341 c/s SWIFT1, ZM343 c/s VYT79

I also counted 9 Texan's lined up on the "western" side of the runway late afternoon/early evening and any help with the serials of these would be appreciated if they are known.

For completeness; the aircraft lined up for the photoshoot near the civilian terminal were: Jupiter ZM499,Hawk T.2's ZK036 25 Squadron
and ZK013 4 Squadron, Texan ZM332.

So that's Texans: 323 324 326 327 328 329 330 332 341 343. I thought there was 10 on the ramp at about 2pm but I was using the Mk2 camera lens so may have miscounted!

Just looked at my photos for a second time and 10 airframes flew, so if you saw 9 on the far side when 332 was parked up for the photoshoot, I think that's all of them.
