* The RAF Dakota which overflew Llangollen yesterday.
A number of local people yesterday (Thursday) reported seeing an RAF Dakota - the famous World War Two transport aircraft - overflying Llangollen on two occasions in the afternoon.
llanblogger asked the press office for the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, based at RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire, for more details about the plane painted with D-Day recognition white stripes on both wings.
This morning they have replied: "The Dakota was heading to RAF Valley to do a display for Valleys families’ day.
“Families’ days are when the station opens up to the families of service personnel so they can look around and see what their spouses/parents actually do.
“They also have various stalls and entertainments and it’s very much a social event as a thank you to them for putting up with the more unsociable aspects of the job.”
