APCIM and MACA are RAF Mountain Rescues primary and secondary roles and today marks the final day of their annual winter training courses. Well done to everyone who made these courses a success and to all the Troops that took part, gaining essential winter mountaineering skills.

RAF Valley was out training and assisting TAM Llanberis MRT on a number of callouts over the weekend. It was an excellent weekend to demonstrate the skills and capabilities of the Mountan Rescue Service to Air Commodore Thompson, who visited a training weekend.
