First post on here - signed up as i live a few miles away and have line of sight across fields to the range. Lots of explosions tonight so i guess the Apaches are testing the rockets!

Just nipped to the range as I was coming past anyway the red flags aren’t up does that mean there’s nothing happening tonight

Notam has been removed for the late nights for tonight and tomorrow now too so guessing back to just the normal day time hours again?
