There were certainly several flights of Strike Eagles working off the North Norfolk coast last night around 7pm. I can't offer any more specifics but night ops are certainly underway. I don't know if this will be the norm over the rest of the year or if some weeks will see day only, other weeks day and night ops?

Some sporadic flights OTT during the last few minutes, unable to pick up comms at the moment. Location, just N.W. of Fakenham
2 from Panther FS @ 2016hrs, excercising over Fakenham and thankfully drowning out the sound of sugar beet harvesting.
