Located in Wales. the Mach Loop is formed by valleys which run between Dolgellau (pronounced 'Dol-geth-lie') in the north, Tal-y-Llyn in the west, Machylleth (pronounced 'Mah-hunth-leth') in the south and Dinas Mawddwy in the East. The Mach Loop is regularly used by the RAF, USAF and occassionally other foreign airforces for low level training.

Located south of the Mach Loop there is Tactical Training Area 7T, in which, at certain times, the aircraft may fly as low as 100 feet . A timetable is published showing when TTA7T is scheduled to be in use, however this appears to be of no use as experience shows the scheduled dates in that imetable bear no resemblance to reality.

Tornado GR1 with a TILED pod fitted and 2 large external fuel tanks. Very nice!! Hard to know which squadron it's from without seeing the tail, but absolutely fantastic shot!
