Kendrew - upcoming exercise?
Kendrew - upcoming exercise?
Local rumours of an RAF exercise happening soon at former RAF Cottesmore - anyone know more? Wondering if it's another mobile ATC exercise, maybe this time with real aeroplanes!

Re: Kendrew - upcoming exercise?
What are the rumours? Heard runway is still in good nick and should take anything but FJs due to FOD issues.

There's no "go-round" in a glider.

HIRTA (High Intensity Radio Transmission Area) - so best to avoid if you have a heart pacemaker! Seriously, though, sounds like it could be an ATC exercise.

RAF Wittering deployed to Kendrew today for Exercise Una Triangle to set up a deployed operating base for aircraft. It seems that it's mostly a ground exercise but hopefully there may be a movement or two. Fingers crossed...

Thursday 1520-ish
Adsb showed a Hawk at 200' in the immediate area. Callsign Pirate?? It disappeared off the plot in a short time so not conclusive.
