		RAF Valley, situated on the south-western tip of the island of Anglesey in North Wales, has undergone many changes in recent years and now, more than ever, plays a crucial and exclusive role in training the future fast jet pilots and navigators for the RAF.
		Valley was not the first airfield to open on Anglesey.
		With the closure of the Tactical Weapons Units at RAF Brawdy, and latterly, RAF Chivenor, responsibility for providing all future aircrew to the RAF's fast-jet front line passed to Valley, and this remains the Station's primary function.

		RAF Valley was reviewed in May 1996 which identified an increase in air movements and recommended a new survey, due to lack of manpower RAF Valley was predictively surveyed during the annual daily movement figures (ADM) obtained from the review, which found that small extensions to the 70dB(A) contour was needed.
		RAF Valley was surveyed in late summer 1998, but unfortunately there was a severe lack of aircraft using the station at the time of the survey, which caused the survey to have to be cancelled.
		RAF Valley was due to be reviewed in January 2006; unfortunately the placing of NIGS into suspension due to unavailability of money to fund the scheme has resulted in the postponement of the review for the foreseeable future.
