This one's a bit of a legend! The place in question is near the little village of Penmachno in Snowdonia, rugged hill-farming country.  One of the local farmers was fed up with the Hawks from 4 FTS (Flight Training School) using his farm as a reference Point during low-level flying.

Not only were the Hawks coming to see the message, but just about every pilot in the RAF and Fleet Air Arm heard about the graffiti and came to see it! Then, the USAF got to hear about it!
