Not only is is possible, you can also do it 1) in style and 2) heavily subsidised by the taxpayer...

It looks nice but it still has to travel on the same single track line through Hereford and Shropshire countryside and my track record (pun unintended) travelling that route isn't very encouraging.

though flying from raf valley to cardiff would be cool too

With a German aircraft (Dornier 228) and German crew.

Last time I flew back from Cardiff the pilot decided to entertain/frighten drivers on the A55 by flying very low following the road across Anglesey . In adverse weather you could be diverted to Hawarden near Chester.
