Am I reading this right?

Coningsby is open as of 08th Jan but 08th-11th the field is closed between 0700-0900 and on 12th Jan 0700-0800

Completely open outside of those hours? I’ve just taken leave at work to go up on 10th so don’t want to waste a journey if im reading it wrong and it’s just outright closed until 12th :blush:

You are pretty much correct, mate. There won't be any scheduled movements from Coningsby before 0900 local on those dates but should be normal flying thereafter - however - that doesn't mean you're going to see wall to wall action though.

LARS is unavailable because the station is closed during the stated times. Every time they post a airbase closed NOTAM they will also post a LARS unavailable too.

Good stuff! I don't mind if it's not wall to wall - Coningsby is always my favourite place to go! I was planning on getting there for about 0900 anyway so that's all good with me! Thanks for confirming. I used to be very active on the aviation side of things but it's taken a back seat for the last few years with work etc, there was a time I could read a NOTAM just like that and understand it completely without even thinking about it, going to have to get practiced in this stuff again!!
