Does anyone have the dates for when they’re night flying again?

Thank you

Coningsby advise night flying well in advance - usually towards the end of the month.

Can't believe we have booked a holiday next week up near coningsby and was hoping to get some time viewing some activity. Am I going to be disapointed that they are on nights? What time do they tend to start and finish flying when on nights? Thanks

First wave will probably be around 4/5pm - will know more when the NOTAM comes out on Thursday

Worth calling out next week is half term in these parts and probably others - Coningsby will probably be heaving.
