SPECTACULAR TRIPLE TAKE OFF HAWK T2 DEPARTING RAF CONINGSBY • THREE SHIP DEPARTURE

Three BAE Hawk T2's of RAF Valley depart RAF Coningsby as a triple take off. The only time we have ever got to see three or more departing at the same time is either at Airshows or Aerobatics teams training, but these Hawks were in neither category, just regular squadrons Fast Jet Training. RAF Valley is home to No 4 Flying Training School, responsible for training the UK's next generation of world-class fighter pilots. It is the next training stage from RAF Cranwell. Once the pilot has got the Fast Jet set in their heart, they will go to RAF Valley. Fast-jet training lasts around 2 years and they will initially fly the Texan, after which they will be awarded their Pilot flying badge, known as ‘wings’. The pilot will then go on to fly the Hawk T2, again at RAF Valley and, after successful completion of the tactical weapons phase, they will go to an Operational Conversion Unit (OCU), where they will train on the specific aircraft that they will be flying in a front-line role. For Typhoon, they will be with 29 Squadron at RAF Coningsby. For F-35B, they will make their journey to RAF Marham and fly with their OCU. 72 Squadron They provide basic fast jet training (BFT) to RAF and Royal Navy student pilots. They are the only RAF squadron to have spent time as a helicopter unit before returning to fixed-wing flying. They operate alongside the Hawks of IV and 25 Squadrons at RAF Valley. In 2019, 72 Squadron’s identity was transferred to the Texan Integration Squadron at RAF Valley on 31 October. IV Squadron Once associated with the legendary Harrier at Cottesmore and Wittering. IV Sqn deliver training to the first ab-initio F-35 Lightning pilots. It was in 2010, that IV sqn stood down as a Harrier Squadron and were re-activated at RAF Valley as its present role the same year. 4 FTS No. 4 Flying Training School (4FTS) takes RAF and Royal Navy fast pilots from Basic Flying Training (BFT) and trains them to fly fast jets prior to moving on to their Operational Conversion Units. XXV (F) Squadron The legendary squadron that flew the Panavia Tornado F3 at RAF Leeming, once a QRF (Quick Reaction Force). XXV (F) Squadron provide advanced fast jet training (AFJT) to RAF and Royal Navy student pilots. They are part of the UK Military Flying Training System (UKMFTS) joint enterprise and 4 Flying Training School (4 FTS). Pilots move from XXV(F) Squadron to continue their tactical and weapons training with IV(AC) Squadron at RAF Valley, before progressing to their frontline aircraft type. 202 Squadron They support the No 1 Flying Training School. They operated as a search and rescue squadron for more than 50 years. 202 Sqn provide mountain, maritime and SAR training to helicopter aircrew with the Airbus Helicopters Jupiter. In 2016, 202 sqn disbanded, but stood up again as 202 (Reserve) Squadron, a SAR training unit equipped with the Bell Griffin HT1. Then in 2018, they were re-equipped with the Jupiter.
