Hi Gary, I'm a bit new to this, does this mean the airfield is open for business after 0800 hours and will be performing normal operational flying?
Thanks

You're almost correct, the times on a NOTAM are Zulu time, which is 1hr different to British summer time, so 0800 zulu is 9am local.

So yes, normal operating hours after 9am next week, with two possible display practices Wednesday and Thursday

Any idea what the evening display is for? Or just a practice display?

Thanks

Time suggests a mess function, I was there a few years back for a similar notam and the Spitfire/Typhoon Synchro went up, and it was around this time in June come to think of it.


BBMF sent a few fighters up to over fly the mess as well.
