Confirmation is sought that this is RAF Valley with the railway to Holyhead. No 202 Advanced Flying School, later 7 FTS, was equipped with the new Vampire Trainer here in 1953. Other ground and air-to-air shots, probably made at the same time, show that the other three airframes seen here are WZ456 / 29, WZ457 / 21 and WZ470 / 30.
