Might be of use to those of you near Salisbury Plain, taken from the monthly newsletter

21 April to 4 May is Exercise Joint Warrior, a large air assault exercise with 4 parachute drops on
the various DZ across the plain and lots of aviation in support. The Battalion is supported by a Dutch armour
Battle Group with American tracked M113s. The key days are 28-30 Apr where the Battle Group is moving
from West to east and back again
