RAF Llanbedr - EGOD - Wales - Tag21 - Image 1

Description

Llanbedr Airport (ICAO: EGOD), close to RAF Valley and the "Mach Loop", is an operational general aviation airport located in the Snowdonia National Park near the village of Llanbedr, Gwynedd, Northwest Wales.

The site was (from Spring 1942) an operational base for Towed Target (and in 1943, became the home of the RAF's No. 12 Fighter Gunnery School), and later, Target Drone services to the UK Armed Forces. Target provision services were typically to the Cardigan Bay Ranges.

During the Second World War, RAF Llanbedr was home to thirty-two different RAF Squadrons on rotation who flew a variety of aircraft (Spitfire, Mustang, Typhoon, Anson, Lysander and Martinet).

From 1957, civilianisation of the base services began with Short Brothers holding a series of contracts until 1979, when Airwork Services took over and held them until 1991, when FR Serco took over its running.

Additionaly, it served as a Royal Air Force V bomber dispersal airfield and more recently, has been used for military weapons training. The site closed in October 2004. Navigational and ATC equipment were removed by the military and the site put up for sale.

In May 2014 the airport re-opened, catering for the needs of general aviation activities in the area. In 2018 FlySnowdonia started operating as a flying school from the airfield operating two Robin DR400 aircraft.

There is now speculation that Llanbedr may become home to the UK’s first Space Port and that the RAF will re-aquire Llanbedr to use as a Relief Landing Ground for RAF Valley.
