Interesting, I do not know why I can not see that NOTAM. I search both FIR's until the end of the next month and just can not see it. I have all the others like LARS not available, some display ones etc but not that one.

Dixie: Yea they play enemy aircraft as part of their role, appearing as enemy aircraft. Sometimes they even fly in formation with fast jets and the fast jets mimic missiles in war games I believe.

Five Cobham Falcons up tonight ;
G-FFRA Vader 1
G-FRAT Vader 2
G-FRAO Vader 3
G-FRAL Vader 4
G-FRAS Vader 5
and looks like Vader 2 and 5 could be Coningsby based with the others all back at Teesside tonight .
