Re: Exercise Cobra Warrior Coningsby Non based Aircraft

Post by powerslave » Fri Sep 08, 2017 11:48 am

Does anyone have any idea of flying times for the next week or two.
Who they'll be flying with etc,how long they will be staying.
Off work next week and wouldn't mind coming down to have a look.
I know last time they came down,flying seemed to be a bit on and off,some days they flew other days they didn't.

As I am planning a trip over this week.... I was wondering if the forecasted strong winds over the next couple of days, would cause any disruption to the flying?.

Your thoughts would be very much appreciated.
