His Royal Highness had previously been stationed at RAF Valley for three years while working as an RAF Search and Rescue pilot from 2010 to 2013.
During his visit to the sole Royal Air Force station in Wales, The Prince engaged with personnel and families stationed at the base, including those from No.
4 Flying Training School, which is tasked with training the next generation of top-tier fighter pilots in the UK.
As part of his tour of the airbase, His Royal Highness visited the Air Traffic Control Tower to get insights into a £44 million initiative aimed at renovating RAF Valley’s second runway.
He also participated in a simulated fire response drill with the base’s Fire and Rescue Section.
Additionally, The Prince of Wales met with engineers, Qualified Flying Instructors, and trainers in their crew room to learn more about life at the airbase.
His Royal Highness also bestowed the Prince of Wales Award, given to the top Qualified Flying Instructor within the No.
4 Flying Training School, to Flight Lieutenant Jake Fleming.
RAF Valley is also home to the RAF Mountain Rescue Service headquarters, which offers Search and Rescue assistance, Aircraft Post Crash and Incident Management, and medical aid in the mountains round the clock.
Before departing the airbase, The Prince of Wales held discussions with members of the response team to gain insight into their experiences in delivering crucial, life-saving aid to the local community.
