In traditional RP this vowel occurs only in the same diphthongs as it does in GA. However many British English accents (especially in Northern England and Scotland) use it where RP usually uses [æ], in words such as trap and bat.
The symbol /a/ is now used for the vowel of British English trap and bat in dictionaries of the Oxford University Press, and the transcription is certainly more accurate than /æ/ for most younger speakers' pronunciation, including those who could be deemed to speak RP.
This vowel occurs in the Boston accent, for example in star [stäː] and father [fäːðə].

Vowel length plays a phonetic role in the majority of English dialects, and is said to be phonemic in a few dialects, such as Australian English and New Zealand English.
In certain dialects of the modern English language, for instance General American, there is allophonic vowel length: vowel phonemes are realized as long vowel allophones before voiced consonant phonemes in the coda of a syllable.
Before the Great Vowel Shift, vowel length was phonemically contrastive.
