That's not quite what it says re the times. It says:
1st Feb 14.45-16.15
2nd and 3rd Feb 18.30-2100

[oaf]

Are these the actual time's? Or do you add a hour to them?

[tm74sqn]

Sorry, I'd missed the detailed reduced times - well spotted. They are the GMT times, so no need to adjust them by an hour.
Cheers, TM74

Thank you

Could make some interesting viewing.

Nothing happened in the first half hour, and nothing flying from Brize at the moment according to ADSB so maybe a paper exercise today, still another hour to go so you never know!

Sooo, you are pinning your hopes on the Fire-cover, rather than a valid Notam for 17/02/06 through 17/02/10??

[oaf]

No was just saying

They're just backing the case for activity by saying this I should Imagine as I wouldn't think they just have four fire trucks kicking about on the airfield for heli bashing in the week?

Airborne rt chat last night at BZZ discussed approaches to Abingdon. Believe they scrubbed due to rain/low cloud.
Didn't hear the end of the exchange, as had to leave area. Hth.

[jingernut]

Can anyone confirm with the times quoted, are those actual times or do I need to add an hour to them?

So when it says 6pm ... it means 6pm not 7pm.

Cheers!

Notams are written in UTC Coordinated Universal Time which happens to be the same as / no offset from GMT, our time zone. So at the moment the notam says 1800 (6pm) then it is 1800 (6pm) as you are experiencing it, no adjustement required.
When we move to British Summer Time we adjust by 1 hour against GMT but Notams remain relevant to UTC.
So away from British Summer Time (now) read the time on the NOTAM as the time you are experiencing.
In British Summer Time (March 12th to November 5th 2017) adjust the time you read on the Notam by 1 hour (add 1 hr to the Notam for the time that is being displayed on your watch).
Hope this helps.
