According to the BBC there is a northerly wind until about 18:00, so runway 01, but after that it swings round more to the east, so possible they could use 06.
Hope that helps - good luck anyway, TM74

They can't use 06 as it doesn't exist any more.

Should the 5th June thread be locked now?

[Supra]

Not really! You're not allowed to ask questions about which runway suits the wind direction on the other Topic.
But there again any weather chart shows north/north easterlies at 10 Knots indicating r/w '01' + full sun from 5 - 9pm

Any chance of one of these going to Yeovilton this year dp you think.

Info I had from https://airportguide.com/airport/info/KNF#runways said:-

Runway 06/24 9140 ft x 200 ft (2786 m x 61 m)
Runway Length Source: as of
Surface: Asphalt -
Runway Pavement Class:

etc.

Has it become 05/23 recently?

Cheers, TM74

[Nighthawke]

No it is still 06/24 but currently closed to be revamped for F-35 ops. 01/19 is the current operational runway.

[tm74sqn]

Many thanks - I didn't really think that 06 had been completely dug-up, or moved, but best to check!

So now we have 4 F-35's when do we all think they'll start regular training flights?
