High flying Inspiration Day for Ysgol Llanfawr

High flying Inspiration Day for Ysgol Llanfawr

 

Diwrnod ardderchog eto efo plant o Ysgol Llanfawr yn mwynhau weld yr awyrennau yn RAF Fali.
Another excellent day with pupils from Ysgol llanfawr enjoying seeing the aeroplanes at RAF Valley.

This week pupils from Ysgol Llanfawr had the amazing opportunity to visit IV squadron at RAF Valley. Flight Lieutenant Critchell led a super visit starting with a tour of a Hawk jet. Pupils walked all around the jet and got to see inside the cockpit. Whilst in the hanger pupils saw lots of busy engineers at work which opened their eyes to the range of people needed to get the jets flying. Pupils were very lucky to go inside the pilots’ locker room and learnt about the specialist kit the pilots have to wear and why. The questions that the pupils asked were fantastic and their attention to detail was very impressive. The highlight for many of the pupils was having a go on the ‘Flight Training Devices’ where they were able to practice flying an aeroplane.
