Looks like the same will be the case today too

A recent post on one of the Leeming Facebook groups states today's flying is cancelled due to fog .

Typical Swiss sortie times are 14:30 , 17:30 and 20:30 and of a 60 to 90 minute duration . Leeming tower is open 12:00 to 22:00 and the Swiss don't fly at weekends so weekdays such as yesterday sorry , ! , saw Hawks , Hornets and Hunters flying . Tomorrow Friday 25th is change-over day so the Helvet...

Apparently there was a note on the VTSS website which showed airside tours on the 27 November and 11 December but both sold out and a comment that other tours would take place in early 2023 .
If planning on going probably best to contact the Trust for confirmation of details and times ?

Go again this Sunday and you will here the Vulcan.
Due to make her last ever engine runs.

I'm not sure that this is true as it was flagged up on Facebook group that there are visiting opportunities for engine runs next year too . Perhaps others may know more ?

No Qatari Hawks flew from Leeming yesterday which was Thursday 17th and not the 16th as per the thread title .

Callsign was DOLPHIN15 and Draken flew Ops out of Teesside to the carrier too .

Two into Leeming mid-afternoon and then north again and reported in the Newcastle area , if the same pair and also still unidentified ?
Edit ; showing a PEGASUS callsign .

This might be of interest ?
