We’re hoping to get Harrier T4 airframe XW269 to Valley for the Centenary. It’s been lovingly rebuilt by Mike Spiers’s team at Selby and is in the process of moving to the Caernarfon Air Museum. If we get it (big if), it will probably arrive on Friday afternoon (21 Sep) and leave on […]
[Updated 25.8.12] So far we’ve got 83 confirmed for the Centenary, with another 39 or so provisional (these figures exclude current Sqn members). So you can see which of your pals has booked, I’ve created this page of attendees which I’ll update from time to time.
We are, at last, in a position to accept bookings and payments for the Centenary. The price for the whole weekend will be £65 per head; if you can only attend the Friday Meet & Greet the price will be £20, if you can only attend the Saturday Dinner, the price will be £45. In […]

OK, I know we’re going to get some flak for this decision, so soon after the poll on the preferred venue was so firmly won by Wittering, but if we’re going to have a memorable Centenary then it really has to be held at RAF Valley. The reasons include: IV(R) Squadron is based at Valley […]
Out of 83 responses (thanks everyone!), there were 12 votes (14%) for Farnborough, 16 votes (19%) for Valley and 55 votes (66%) for Wittering. So, an overwhelming win for Wittering, home of the Harrier. Planning continues with IV(R) Sqn consulting with the Association closely. Your votes will be taken into consideration when the decision on […]
