Here's another log then:

Night flying tonight despite the rain are ZM505, 508, 510, 512, 514, 515 and 530. So far two have done the VFR nav down to Shifnal - Coal Port - Much Wenlock - Church Stretton etc others are just in the Shawbury zone. I have known them over the house after 23.00!

Earlier in the day, the following Junos were about ZM510, 511, 515, 517, 521, 522, 529, 530 and 531 and Jupiter ZM500 was visiting (presumably from Valley) as VLL200. 524 used the callsign Afghan - not heard this one before and 531 was using Spectre 1 (which has been used regularly)

ZM518 & ZM519 were ‘Ironman1/2’ to M Wallop as well as ZM520 & ZM524 which were ‘Afghan1/2’ also to M Wallop today 12.11

Thanks, I was at work and missed a few. Any idea when they are back?

Low level nightflying tonight (Tuesday) at 20.30 are 508, 510, 512, 515 and 527. Jupiter 500 was around today with a Shawbury callsign.

Not a local but there is a NOTAM saying Shawbury is closed daily in the mornings until the 16th, don’t know why, might have something to do with the exodus?

.... but more probably a lack of students due to a large proportion of the simulators not working as advertised!

I believe the airfield is closed to remove construction waste which is hazardous, from the airfield. They didn't want the choppers blowing asbestos contaminated concrete around the airfield, pan, and base!

Hi ghost walker
Will the base be back to normal this next week, if you know please?
