No 72 Squadron re-forms at Valley

摘要

THE RAF's No 72 Squadron was formally re-established at RAF Valley, Wales, on November 28. The unit had previously operated the Tucano T1 at RAF Linton-on-Ouse, North Yorkshire, in the basic flying training role. With the retirement of the Tucano (see RAF ceases Tucano flying operations, December 2019, p8), and the move of basic flying training to RAF Valley, the squadron is now operating the Texan T1 trainer and has been transferred from No 1 Flying Training School (1FTS) to 4FTS.
