Re: Marham Closed September
Your Decimomannu, Sardinia suggestion is still on the table....it's the only one so far that 'Motley' didn't 'kill' immediately. Perhaps we could, within the OSA rules start adding 'Warmer or Colder' comments? (location guess...not air temperature please Motley?)
Sunnier climates where you don't need to be armed are few & far between if you go East! So my guess is the USA for one last Hurrah! Close-to or not??

Re: Marham Closed September
IX Squadron are participating in Exercise Brilliant Arrow in Germany from the 11th-22nd September so I guess Marham will close the first week of September and re open last week of September unless IX Sqdn go somewhere else after the exercise?

Re: Marham Closed September
So which Sqdn is doing the German exercise then? I thought 12 would be on Op Shader then and 31 Sqdn on post Shader leave? Which left 9 Sqdn? Or are 31 staying on shader longer and 12 sqdn are doing the German exercise? as Scramble states there are RAF Tornados participating.

Re: places to stay and best places to watch the aircraft
Loads of Empty HAS at RAF Honington they are more than welcome to bolthole hereGary wrote:Info from mates who went to families day, say's the runway will be closed during September. Timing it with the next Op Shader swap over, to minimize disruption. IX(B) will bolthole somewhere
Re: Marham Closed September
Now that WOULD be a nice dream ! Since a few of the 40 odd surviving GR4s started their careers at Honington they would certainly know their way home.....
Re: places to stay and best places to watch the aircraft
Runway isn't in a fit state to take fast jets, all approach lights etc removed a year or two a back sadly.Al dunn wrote:Loads of Empty HAS at RAF Honington they are more than welcome to bolthole hereGary wrote:Info from mates who went to families day, say's the runway will be closed during September.

Re: Marham Closed September
Yeah I know. I drive past regularly. As I said " a nice dream".
Surprised the runway can take anything these days. - A waste of a great airfield.
