This year the RAF Valley Station Commander has formally invited Valley Aviation Society members to join in with all the staff and their Families at this year’s event to be held on Thursday 27th August 2009 between 0830 and 1700hrs.

This event will NOT be open to members of the general public and entry will be strictly by advanced invitation only. Access in and around the perimeter fences and Spotters Car Park will be severely restricted by patrolled road closures and 'no waiting' coned areas imposed on the day. This is not an 'airshow' or other such event to which the public can expect to have access.

Society members will continue to enjoy all the benefits of the Photocalls held over the previous nine years, with an array of specially invited aircraft taking part together with the welcome participation from many Squadrons in the Royal Air Force, Royal Navy and Army Air Corps. NATO allies have indicated an intention to attend, along with some civilian aircraft participation.

This event is intended for the station staff, their families and guests to enjoy the facilities the station has to offer, to that aim there will be several exhibitions, demonstrations, and stalls to cater for all age groups. Several local charities that are supported by the Station will be on hand in the hope of raising much needed funds.
