§ Mr. WellbelovedFlying training in Wales is not, for the most part, conducted along regular flight paths. Some basic training in, for example, the Gnat, Hunter and Hawk is over specific navigational routes but the height flown varies greatly. For most other flights, including those by operational aircraft, aircrew, within regulations, select their own routes subject, of course, to the constraints of weather and terrain.
